Dr. David Cook, a popular sports psychologist for several professional golfers, says that at least three things happen in a round of gold that are unfair or not deserved.
Dr. Cook says that the difference between the great golfers and the ones who are in the middle of the pack is how they deal with the things that happen to them. The talent level of professional golfers is not significantly different. It’s the ability to move beyond the unfair and unexpected that determines who wins the tournament.
Three Things You Can Do to Make the No-Victim Choice
