so what happens when you birdie a difficult hole nad bogey the next without changing your emotional level..that is staying even keel..or do you need to celebrate a little i'm pretty good and being able to disconnect and focus only at what i'm trying to accomplish and don't beat myself up when i doesn't pan out

We need to attach all the positive emotions we can to the good stuff and simply let the bad stuff go. It is MORE than OK to celebrate the good shots, the birdies, the chip ins (had two today), and to invest emotion in those feelings. That is what builds confidence for when you need it later.
