I went 0-4 again in league last Wednesday...I guess we all have "off" nights?
I couldn't string together making more than 2 balls in a row. I'd make 1 decent shot, than miss on the next, sometimes terribly.
I can think of alot of excuses: didn't practice much the previous week because of the holidays....playing in a new location we hadn't played at before....playing one of the top teams.....and haven't had my mind on pool much (also because of the busy holiday season).
I'm learning to just let things like this go. It doesn't really matter (except to myself) whether I finish in the top 10 in the standings, or top 40. I was #25 last week, so I'll probably drop down to #35 or so. I'm taking it in stride, trying to move on, not make a big deal of it. Maybe I can refocus more, bear down, start playing better pool.
Still, an 0-4 night is very upsetting. 2 of my other teammates also went 0-4, one seemed to be disgusted with pool. Going 0-4 is not "fun" by any means. Our league is very tough, stacked with lots of great players & tough teams.
Just venting here. Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated.
