True. I think most golfers are by nature conservative - it’s a very tough grind to make it to the PGA Tour, and even more of a grind to stay there. Many players climb to the top but can’t stay there. The books are littered with major winners who lost their game - Shaun Michael, Rich Beem, Trevor Immelman, David Duval, Ian Baker Finch, et al. And no matter your swing coach, your shrink, your strength coach, when it comes down to it you are out there on your own and it’s up to you. So it makes them the strong individual type, i.e. conservative.
Interesting comment. David Duval’s wife is a friend of mine. It has been a very tough road for him. They still don’t really have answers. He just imploded. I do like his commentary on the Golf channel but I also know that’s not where he wants to be.
Myself and 11 others that I worked with used to go to Persimmon Hill GC in S Carolina to play Friday-Sunday the weekend before the Masters...On Monday, we’d drive over to Augusta (about 30 miles) on Monday and Tuesday to watch the practice rounds...(Now you have to get practice tickets ahead of time)
That course is AWESOME!!!!
