TBT,
I was definitely not singling you out, because I think a lot of people felt it including myself. However I appreciate you posting that, because you have gone through it and know exactly what its like and how its unlike anything most encounter on a golf course. Between the mental drain of the entire weekend and the idea that 7 other guys are counting on you, to the physical demands that this weather + this much golf can leave people with nothing in the tank for multiple rounds.
I know there are some that are viewing this as a walk in the park with friends for a few rounds of golf and while there is a whole lot of fun to be had, it is demanding and teams do you want to win.
I was one of the few that did not struggle too much. I played a ton of practice rounds and played well straight up through Sundays round. I would say it is mainly due to the fact that I spend a ton of time during the summer on the range or on the course. I played 36 holes quite a few times leading up to the MC and I did it in some stifling heat(100+*). You truly do need to practice in the heat in order to get used to it. It is a physically and mentally draining experience. You will be utterly spent by the time Sunday night comes.
