There is such a thing as not being able to handle success if you are not used to it. It has happened to me.

About a month after my first visit to the Swamp I went out for a round and started birdie/eagle! I was so excited I could barely stand it. I was worried about losing strokes and got really tennative. I was still -3 going into the 7th hole, but ended up shooting 75. I have never broken par for 18 holes. I had a great chance that day but just kept thinking about all the ways I could screw it up....which I then proceeded to do!

I think you have to expect to play well. And to keep it going you need to expect to keep it going! I hope I handle it better next time I have a chance to go low....
