Golf can be stressful. For many of us, it’s stressful most of the time. In that way, the stress becomes normality and dealing with it should become easier… Perhaps.
I get nervous on the 1st tee in the Saturday medal at my home club, Banchory. At my other club, I always have a mild panic attack when playing my second shot into the 18th on the Old Course – I’m sure I’m going to knife it into the tourists watching from behind or shank it straight into a nicely parked Bentley outside the St Andrews Club.
