Bobby Jones - "Work and Suffer and Wait for Fate"
"No one knows what will happen in golf until it happens. All you can do is work and suffer and wait for fate." -Bobby Jones
Bobby Jones won the "Grand Slam" in 1930 winning the:- British Open
- British Amateur
- US Open
- US Amateur
You make your own luck.
Work.
Suffer.
Go low.
Once you build confidence through your hard work, put yourself out there and sign up for that big tournament.
Bobby Jones also once said that "Nerves are what differentiate a thoroughbred from a plough horse." Note that this is coming from the man who would get sick with anxiety during major rounds, at times dropping 15 pounds from a major championship week.
Do not let the fear of anxiety on the course prevent you from signing up from that big tournament this year. In fact, playing the big tournaments should help your nerves in the other events you decide to play in throughout the year.
Remember, shooters shoot.
