The man who once exhibited nerves of steel in draining back-to-back 25-foot putts to earn the nickname "King of the Greens" in college, has now found himself in the midst of a losing streak.
Where is the fire? Where is the determination? Where is the control? What happened to that flawless swing?
These are all questions that I've asked myself a tousand times during this streak of 6 consecutive Sundays without a victory on the golf course.
My tennis game is also collapsing before my very eyes, but I think that is fixable. Maintaining my focus on the links is my chief concern at this moment. Because if I'm forced to hang up my clubs, then that would mean spending more time at home staring in disbelief at that hermaphrodite Hillary Clinton on those ultra-liberal alphabet channels.
This past Sunday went down as one of the many moments in my life that left me scratching my head.
It was a cloudy afternoon... with the temperature in the upper 50s. I had a 3 holes to 2 lead on my opponent going into the 6th hole of a best-of-seven round. I was extremely confident that the streak was going to come to an abrupt end. But that wasn't the case. I found myself missing very makeable putts in clutch situations.
I missed a 10-foot putt on the 6th hole. And followed that up with a missed 15-footer on the final hole that would have won the match.
Once known as Mr. Reliable! I've now watched as my athletic prowess has taken a nosedive. I'm not going to blame the cold weather or sore feet for my inability in getting that little white ball to go into the hole when the match is on the line.
I hate losing. My competitive spirit is alive and well, but something is holding back my progression. Perhaps, my arrogance is interfering in how I close out matches.
There is no excuse for me losing in such a humiliating fashion. Golf is no longer taking center stage in my life. I have other priorities. Maybe I should get back to basics and start hitting the links on a more consistent basis. | |
