For the past 2 years I've been playing in some amateur events around here. I've been competing in the 3-8 handicap division and have yet to win a tournament. There's usually about 40 competitors and the top 5 get paid out. I was paid out twice last year with my best finish being 3rd. My 1st time tee'ing it up, I could barely breathe. I was lucky to even make contact with the golf ball.

I've not been in a position where tons of people were watching me or when a win was on the line so I don't know how I would handle that. I will say this too, the past 2 years with the THP outings and our Georgia get togethers, has been great when it comes to playing with someone new. You wouldn't be being honest if you said you weren't a little nervous tee'ing it up with a THP'er for the first time.
