Give yourself a mulligan on every shot, and only count the best shot you make

against your score. This will lead to feelings of optimism and confidence, especially if you never play against anyone else. Also, it's like double the practice for a single round.

Oh, you wanted serious answers. Sorry, I'm not under 5 handicap but felt like I wanted to contribute.
