I still get excited about the thought of playing the next day some, but not always...I used to lay in bed and think about the next day's round and how much fun it would be, and then after it was completed replay the whole prior round in my head that night. I've really noticed that when I'm playing well, I look forward to the next time I play, and that when I play badly, going to the course becomes more of a chore (and I'm not talking about working at the course either! ).
