Not sure I agree with this. Mind strength is what separates professional athletes in all sports. Those with short memories, greater will, ability to overcome adversity, etc. I believe it's an innate ability. The world is littered with minor leaguers possessing tremendous physical skills. It's typically the mind that determines true greatness.

I was speaking more to what separates tour players from the average golfer (I said average guy in my previous post) or even from a low handicap golfer, it's not the mental game. Golfers place too much importance on mental game.

Would've been interesting to see comparisons of other players' range vs course swings.

Not only does he try to murder the ball in round, he also appears to be steering it as well at times

Think he is sick of GOLF, the media, the fans, the life. Nothing more important than having a life you enjoy, around people you enjoy. He most likely enjoys his kids, then misses them and the closest person to him at that point is his manager. Who knows what his mom is up too. When or if he wins, who will be there to hug, kiss, congratulate ?

it is the life in a nut shell and he is bored with it, on top of that, he is now fully bald, almost 40... He looks back and wonders, how did I end up here with only a few friends, 2 kids, no wife and so much money, yet, I really do nothing except play golf, manage a huge house I don't need, etc... I just think he knows he made some big mistakes and can't take them back. People expect him to want to be "A GOLF GOD" forever and he may not care about it at all. How many people retire from golf ? If I were him, I would take a couple years off, find love again, don't touch a club and rest...

he doesn't owe anyone person a thing except himself and his kids. Finish out your contracts or redo them for a shorter period. Way too much going on, poor guy....

This is an odd post with how hard he's been working and how excited he was to play well last week.

    • Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels. 
    • Day 6 (15 Mar 25) - Played in local course’s 2man captain’s choice St Patrick’s Day tournament.  Great day of working closely with my teammate on course management process.  
    • Certainly BUY used so many near new Drivers in Good condition that will suit ...which IMHO the shaft is the most important part if you want to buy new get a shaft new that suits you then find the head you like the feel off 
    • I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ... 
    • Big week of Golf nursing golfing elbow ....played local amazing course Arrowtown tuesday ..had a tidy 81 for what I felt wasn't my best Golf in some wet windy conditions found the greens tough to read and gave away many shots... three birdies Played my local GC wed STB mens comp... very rough whole game not happy 89 just felt tired made so many mistakes max 4-holes I played well the rest rubbish to woeful ... Friday played south of my local Alexandra in a 4ball with my mates (we have a comp same partners over the year) played pretty well after not even hitting my 3wood past the ladies tee on the 1st hole ...very slow greens to what I usually played so we made gimmes within 2ft ,,,, couple birdies .. Wasn't going play ..but wife wasn't stressed so joined into the SAT Medal comp ..teed off early .. had some brilliant holes and shots some of my best .. birdied 3x ..78 for the day gave me a 7th in SNR division. putting let me down had a 4x putt on 3rd hole PAR3 ... along with 6+ three putts ... what could have been  Now looking over the above I'm sure many thinking go sort ya putting ya idot .. but couple weeks previously I played three comps .. out of those three I only had one 3x putt my best 24 putts over a round  ... but my driver off the tee was rubbish ..
