Before I tee off on the first hole, I will decide whether it will be a learning round or "competition" round. If it's a learning round, I will try new throws, new routes, second throws, multiple putts, etc. Most times, I will not even keep score for a learning round. If it's a "competition" round, I play as if I am in a tournament. I use my mini to mark my lie, no re-throws allowed, no gimme putts, etc. I definitely keep score. And sometimes, I will do a scenario where I am either up or down a few strokes. Every three holes, I will flip a coin to see if my imaginary opponent birdies or bogies. (They par the two holes in between.) This simulates the feel you get in a tournament when you have to maintain the lead or close the gap.
