VJ: Amazing, Major Mental Error

Brian Foster 21 March 2005 23:30:30
 Pretty amazing to see the best golfer in the world put one in the drink on
the last hole of a tournament to loose the tournament. I guess there is hope
for all of us if someone of VJ's caliber can do something like that.

How many times could he make that shot and not get wet? 9 out of 10?

What happens if he and Perry go to playoff? Maybe Perry still holds on?

VJ does not strike me as stupid or impulsive. What was he thinking over his
2nd shot on #18 Sunday?

I can tell you exactly what Perry was thinking over his 2nd shot :)­

I bet he's glad he hit his 1st shot long. One thing that doesn't get much
press is the advantage of length in match play (or sudden death). You get to
see what your opponent does with his 2nd shot.

This seems so obvious to me, yet I've heard MANY pros say they'd much
rather play first, to put pressure on the other guy. I would think
the amount of pressure you add by hitting a good shot is like 1% of
the pressure you take off by hitting a bad shot.

I believe there are 2 reasons for this attitude: The first is that
almost all highly competitive and accomplished athletes would rather go
first, regardless of sport. The second is that the idea that they might
hit a truly bad shot probably never even occurs to them, or at least not
until after it has actually happened.

This is so true. Jack Nicklaus was dead serious when he said he never
missed a 3' putt. The power of positive thinking - determination - is so
great that even his memory blanked out his actual misses. The same
phenomenon exists in the psychopath - OJ DID NOT KILL Nicole.... And that
WAS NOT his golf glove.

That's how I'd play it, but they are professionals and I am not. If you hit
a great shot, the other guy has to sweat.

That's what the OJ jury said too. Took them all of 4 hours to realize
simpson was being framed by your typical lying criminal cops.

Do any pros purposefully hit short in order to play their 2nd shot first?

Used to happen when they played match play often. Walter Hagen was famous
for not only doing that, but deliberately conceding putts of up to six feet
at the start of the match, then making his competitor putt them all near
the end when they were most likely to be nervous and would have no positive
memories of making those putts earlier in the round to work from.

He was so good at getting out of trouble that some claimed he would drive
deliberately into trees once in a while just to frustrate his opponent when
he'd play out successful and tie them with a par on a hole they felt they
deserved to win!

Conceding 6 foot puts? Maybe that is a "slight" exaggeration.

In order for anyone with a working brain cell to believe that the cops
framed OJ, they would have to believe that the cops somehow knew he did not
have an airtight alibi such as being at some sort of corporate outing during
the time of the crime with plenty of witnesses to back him up. Because if
the cops did not know if he had an airtight alibi, they would be risking
everything including a huge civil suit and time in the local crossbar hotel.
There is no way they would risk that to frame someone who at the time was
loved by the public.

And just so we are clear, the jury found OJ not guilty, they did not find
him innocent.

 Dan, I would add one more reason to your list. They want to go first
because it means they won the last hole (:­
