So is this the hidden secret to becoming a GM?

If it was I would have been a GM looooong ago....This has been my pre-major match routine for years...was not able to execute the program prior to GA state and had my worst match in 3 years....NEVER AGAIN!!

I shoot tired or "Henry Uniform" then I shoot stupid.

Just imagine how well you would have shot if you weren't still drunk or hungover.

I was at the bed side late one night as a close family member died, said goodbye as they knew that they were dyeing.

Had my first best match the next day. = that is not recommended ether

I remember that some of my best on-court basketball efforts in high school was when I was fighting off a cold or the flu. It was always interesting to me to hear people tell me how hard I played and how well I did when I thought I was dying out there.

Question: I wonder how overcompensation plays into the equation?

I also have a zone in my golf game that is much better after a few cold beverages, however, there is a margin of diminishing returns!

That's true for me, and I'm sure many others, for many activities. I could ride my dirt bike better after a beer, or 2, at the absolute max. I also shoot pool better after a couple cold ones. At that point, for me, I realize I perform better because I become less careful and more fearless. But performance starts to drop after about beer number 3 due to a loss of fine visual and motor skills.

Golf Diegest did a test on this with a group of guys during their golf league. Two was best three was max for the best play. They figured it relieved tension and relaxed the golfers allowing them to take more aggressive shots. Anymore than three and the golfers motor skills would be affected and things got bad.

That's exactly the results I found when shooting in pool tournaments and dirt bike riding.

I definitely shoot better the morning after a session of "Match Prep Drinking." I figure, shooting is all about consistency, even down to the degree of hangover...

For me when i let it all go and just have fun i shoot better, than when i worry about my grip the sights or how others did.

It' a game you are to have fun and enjoy.
