You know why the game of golf is popular? Very easy, it's a great game.
You can get some spiked up greens even with no metal spikes, it just depends.
Competition is healthy. It makes you work harder and strive for more and try to find that extra one or two percent in your game that you could possibly improve.
But when I play, I still practice hard and focus on my game.
Be decisive. A wrong decision is generally less disastrous than indecision.
I'm nervous when I play in the Masters or most other tournaments.
