I will say that I haven't had that happen once this year...so try to keep focused and just work through it...I'm sure it will get better.
Sometimes, the brain just sits there and talks to itself and forgets to tell the arm to throw a flag. It will happen less and less as you gain experience - but it WILL still happen.
