@iacas I’m not offended that you, or anyone, disagrees.  And for the record, my statement regarding fear not existing in golf (barring wildlife) was facetious.  And of course there is physical fear in some sports, but that wasn’t my argument (someone else made the Bettis example, I.e. physical fear).  I think it’s pretty rare for elite pro athletes to fear competition (other than rookies or bottom barrel).  Lebron has stated guys trash talk him, which everyone feared doing with MJ (and learned their lesson real quick if they did).  It takes someone like an MJ, Tiger, Tyson for the majority of athletes in that sport to have that fear.

Tiger, sure.  Jack, sure.  BK, nope.

 I’m sure this would just continue to go in a circle at this point, I’m good chalking it up to we disagree.

I love the crowd cheering hard for Block. Talk about pressure. Heck of an up and down to get into the top 15 for the exemption.

You got some players that play well over years and win tournaments, but never manage to win a major. Then there’s Koepka with 18 professional wins, 9 on the PGA Tour and 5 of them majors.

And again… Brooks is playing at a Tiger-like level in majors.

Fear of loss is well studied in sports. Your opponent can have a big influence into how amplified that gets. Knowing the history of a golfer, especially in majors, is a bit variable in how you will expect the final round to turn out. It could go from thinking you need to shoot even par to going much lower. This type of fear, is defined as a fear by the psychological field. There is no way to say it isn't a fear. 

I do think Brooks instills that fear into a lot of golfers. Maybe not someone like Rory or Rahm, but he can put immense pressure on a golfer.

Rahm T50, Scheffler T2, Spieth T29, McIlroy T7, Finau T72, etc… none of that was because they feared BK in the PGA Championship.

I’m not rejecting how good BK is.  But I don’t believe he’s feared.

And again…

Except you ignore a bunch of stuff that’s inconvenient to your position.

Like your list above. Did the person who finished T42 in the 2005 Masters fear Tiger? It’s not a valid point.

      Yes. I think this is one of the best year's worth of progress you made.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Since bowling season is starting soon. I'm going to transition into off-season golf stuff. I plan on trying to play a few more times this year. 1. Going to set up a hitting are in my house to actually hit some "foam" balls. Got to not let the winter make me rusty and set me back for next year.  2. I got to get into my post season workout. Got to lose some weight and start strength training again. This past year was the best physically I felt playing golf. I did about 4 months of strength training before hand. Specifically, squats and deadlifts.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 105 (26 Sep 23) - Monthly church men’s 9 hole super ball event.  Was fun being the fairway finder guy off the tee, really opens up for the big guns to let it rip….and we would still play my ball more times than not as theirs would be lost to the woods and water…

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By klineka ·

      Day 144 - Played 18 holes.  Did a better job of committing to my priority piece with irons and hit some really high quality mid/long iron shots. Doing a partial practice swing feeling the left side bend before stepping up to the ball helped a lot. Driver was hot/cold, hit some really really good drive with multiple of them going 300+yd and also some really poor snap hook/toe balls. Waiting on my new shaft to arrive so looking forward to cleaning up those misses.  Putting remained very solid, this stretch since getting the Evolvr putting lesson is without a doubt the best I've ever putted (Shoutout to you @iacas), making so many more 5-20 footers than I ever have and feels like every miss is burning an edge or hitting a lip. Crazy how much easier putting has become when I already had good speed and reads and now I got the bead portion taken care of too.
