Choking

No, I'm not talking about something caught in the throat or what I often want to do to Judge Judy. I'm referring to blowing it under pressure. A recent study (probably paid for with our tax dollars) showed that skilled golfers do better when asked to putt quickly than when told to take their time. Novices miss regardless. A person can get better at handling pressure by putting themselves in pressure situations. You also need to admit to yourself that you have a choking problem ... which means you are normal. Are putting (short golf shot) and putting (placing an article somewhere) really spelled the same?? don't you love English.
