We have probably all "been there and done that"

"First Tee" jitters, having a 5 footer to win or lose.

The Associated Press released an article today "Walker gets to play with Woods, this time longer"

Woods was playing a practice round and skipped over to the par 5 that Walker was playing, so Walker picked up his ball and headed to the next tee. Woods picked up his ball and headed to the same tee.

''He's like, 'Can I play through you? I'm trying to play real fast and get a couple of holes in?' I said, 'Dude, you can do whatever you want,''' Walker recalled.

So this was the one hole they played together, and it was memorable for Walker for one reason.

''I am literally shaking,'' he said. ''I have every bad-swing thought possible - don't shank it, top it, all that stuff. I make contact. I look up and it's heading right at it. Can't see it because it's kind of in the setting sun. We walked down there and he asked what's going on, I told him I Monday qualified. We talked and it was really cool and he was really nice.

"I can remember thinking, 'Man, if I was that nervous and I hit that good of a shot, I guarantee I will never be that nervous again my entire life - ever,''' Walker said.

So when his wife sent him a text Tuesday that he was playing with Woods and Jordan Spieth, Walker offered a predictable response: ''Sounds fun.''

Keeping it fun will help keep you relaxed.

Having too many thoughts could make you nervous?

What are your thoughts before a big match or playing in a tournament?

    • Day 329 - More full swings, focusing on the finish. Started with half swings, finished with full swings.
    • Day 146: mirror work again. Working on the same backswing stuff. 
    • Didn’t get back to a decent routine in November and December as planned.  I really need to get up earlier and get to the 7 am CrossFit class… but I’m too tired. Right now getting in 3 times a week. Going to get some swing speed exercises in too.  January-April should be Monday - Friday, load up on supplements too.
    • “The stuff legends are made of…” 😁 As long as OEM’s keep replacing them…. But if it cracks 2 years in, you’re screwed on the warranty. the Cobra Dark Speed driver gets rave reviews.  Haven’t heard of breakage issues.  Taylormade now came out with the Qi35 heads.  Absolutely stunning but it’s a carbon fiber sole as well as the face and crown.  I guess we’ll see.
