Default Controlling emotions on the golf course
Does anyone else besides me have an issue with this (especially in tournament play). I'm extremely competitive and tournaments can be emotional roller coasters for me which ends up being very exhausting. It's not only when I play bad that I get emotional but also when I'm playing well. This past weekend I was playing in a two day tournament and was playing fairly well. I shot a 79 on day one, which left me two shots back of the lead in my flight. On day 2, I started with a birdie on one, missed a short birdie putt on 2, missed another short birdie putt on 3, par of 4, and another birdie on 5. That's probably the best start to any tournament I've had. I got extremely pumped up after the birdie on 5. I guess a little too much so because by the time I got to hole 10 or 11 I was completely out of energy. I had nothing left to give and ended up shooting a 77 and not placing in the tournament. It just sucks that I was playing so well, but didn't have the energy to finish the round.
