Nothing Special, Nothing Extra

By: Dr. Joseph Parent

Narrated by: Dr. Joseph Parent

Brian had entered the Qualifying School for the PGA Tour for twelve years, but had fallen short every time. The Q-School is actually a series of tournaments, culminating in the finals, a grueling six-round tournament. It is the ultimate pressure cooker, as each golfer’s career for the next year is on the line. I met Brian two months before the Q-School finals. He told me about his career in golf, his hopes and fears, his strengths and weaknesses. We talked about how to prepare for a shot and how to respond to results, both good and bad. We discussed how he and other golfers sometimes sabotage themselves when things are going well, how fear of bad results prevents making a free swing.
