Mustachioed Root Vegetable
My son is a freshman and is going out for the HS golf team tomorrow. A couple of weeks ago when we were playing our regular weekly round, I decided to introduce some competition. I gave him 3 strokes per 9 and let him hit from the forward tees. Winner gets a whopping $5. He normally has a very laid back attitude, but once there was something on the line, he tensed up and fell apart in the first 3 holes. So we cancelled the competition because I just wanted him to have fun that day.
Obviously he's going to need to develop an ability to play under some pressure if he is going to succeed on the team. Any advice for helping him prepare for this? Something I can do outside of entering him in local tournaments (which I plan on doing and has been recommended by local coaches)? What do you do to prepare for competition?
