This is one of my favorite things I’ve read on Practical Golf, or any website. I’m definitely a “player,” and I’ve definitely experienced choking on multiple occasions. In fact, I quit playing tournaments twice in my life because of “choking” experiences. I always felt like there was something wrong with me mentally that I couldn’t get myself to lock-in under pressure and relish that moment. Instead, I kinda hate that moment and don’t want the pressure.
This article has given me strategies for how to better conduct myself in these situations, as well as made me understand that it’s okay that I’m the way I am, and I can still be successful even though I’m not a “performer.” Keep these articles coming!
