Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 3794395, member: 7874"] I whole heartedly agree. I have a cousin I called Señor One-Putt. As kid he worked at a muny course with the benefit of being allowed to practice all he wanted on his off hours. He did hit hundreds of golf shots. Once being obsessed with imroving his sand game, he hit a thousand sand shots. He earned a golf scolarship and won many college accolades. Upon graduation he married and started a family and his financial career. However, he always wondered if he could have made it on the tour. As a traveling auditor (his 1st job) he met numerous pro athletes in hotels and on planes. One day his plane seat was next to Ben Crenshaw. They hit it off. Jack has a very outgoing personality. They realized they were in the same hotel and shared a cab. The next morning Jack had numerous meetings sheduled. At 7:00 AM his hotel room phone rang. It was Crenshaw asking if Jack wanted to fill-in for an absent fourth. Meetings were cancelled! Jack always traveled with his clubs. As you can imagine he had a great time. He told me he no longer wonders if he could have been a pro. He would not have made it. Apparently Ben and the other two fellows were playing for steep stakes. He said what he saw in Crenshaw's eyes and demeanor over lengthy putts and clutch approaches, he knew was not in him. He called it an extreme mental toughness. Doubt was never an issue. As to your point, after their 18 holes he asked Crenshaw to have lunch. Ben declined saying he was not happy with a couple things in his game during their round and he was going to practice. But if Jack wanted to have dinner, he should be done practicing by 6:00 PM! Practice does make perfect! Maybe it also engenders mental toughness. [/QUOTE]
