I think most of us, if not all, have already seen by now the dreaded 6-putt. It was gut-wrenching for me to watch. Golf is unique as a sport because us amateurs can empathize with the tour pros on some things. One of them are errors. No, let me correct myself. That wasn't an error. That was a disaster.
It brings up to me all those cringe-inducing moments before that we've watched: the whiff, the shank, the wild drive, the chunked chip, the many tries out of the bunker, the multiple putts.
Which brings me to some questions.
1. What is your most feared disaster in golf?
2. Why?
3. Has it happened to you?
4. What are you going to do to stop it?
Here are my own answers.
1. The 4-putt. Thankfully, that was my max, to my best recollection.
2. Because it is frustrating. I have all the physical and mental abilities to sink the frigging putt, and yet I can't do it. Overthinking and underthinking the darn thing will produce the same results.
3. Sure did.
4. I need to give the putt enough respect, but I also shouldn't overthink it. More focus, less thinking.
