As a former competitor, I do understand how easy it is to get caught up in the moment.  The heat of battle can sometimes even be a complete blur... and quite often completely taking a player out of their norm.  One situation in this week's show, that I would like to briefly touch on, is when Christina seemed to be rooting against Tina.  While I can truly appreciate Christina's will to win, I believe she did get a little caught up in the moment.  

It is really important to remember and appreciate why the game of golf is so special, so unique.  In only this game do fierce competitors call penalties on themselves... even when it matters most.  In only this game do fierce competitors root for one another, as did the duo of Jack Nicklaus & Tom Watson... just so they could have an opportunity to prove to themselves what they are really made of.  Golf has got to where it is today because of what those legends have left behind.  

As competitors, enjoy being pushed harder than you thought you could be pushed, like Nicklaus & Watson.  Love having the opportunity to learn and grow from the good play of your competition... and look forward to future challenges.  If your competition doesn't improve or do their best, then you will never really know what you were truly capable of.  

Each and every day you show up for an event, it could do nothing but good to look forward to your competition bringing everything they have, bringing their “A-Game”, just so you can bring more!

Love the challenge, love to learn, enjoy the process!
