Mental vs Physical
We have all heard, or read how important the mental game is to one’s golf game. The pros often are heard saying, something along the lines of we don’t want Tiger’s swing, we want his thought process. So here’s the question. How much better would you be if you had Tiger’s mental abilities, with your own swing? For me, I am thinking 2-3 strokes better. I am bad at focusing on, and planning golf shots. I am a hit it, find it, then hit it again kind of guy.
We were tossing this one around after our morning, back 9 round. (we can walk the back 9 @ 5am for $15 which also includes an artery clogging breakfast, and beverage) The topic was how much better, and worse would two golfers be if they were to switch places mentally, and physically on the golf course. We used Tiger for his tough mental game, and we used Montgomery because of his very good ball striking. We gave Monty , Tiger‘s tough mental game, and gave Tiger , Monty‘s suspect mental game. Would Tiger continue to dominate, and Monty continue to just play decent golf? Obviously there would be not correct answer. But we did agree that Monty would benefit more in this scenario than Tiger would, but that Tiger would still be the better golfer of the two.
