Greg,
Enjoyed reading your first post there, some very good points. I've pitched in front of 10 000 people in pro baseball and felt right at home but just doing long drive competition in front of 50 people my head was gone. Actually last year my biggest problem was and this happened a couple of times (regionals and Canada Day in Mesquite) my first round would be solid and feeling confident won my bracket then during second round I would have a swing and miss!! Then in my mind I would start to think what am I doing here, go back to baseball, you are out of your league, all embarrased that everyone just saw that, but bottom line is you get 6 balls in future if i swing and miss shake it off and go after the next ball, be more easy on myself haven't been golfing very long. Come the third round I was done mentally so scared to not swing and miss again...It's why I stuck to pitching in pro ball couldn't hit a curveball:) I swear some of those Pinnacles had some movement on them! It helps that I started playing ball when I was 6 til I was 27. Started long drive when I was 28 so hopefully when I'm 65 I will feel at home on tee box! Guess for long drive hitters that crush it in warmups and can't bring it to the teebox they are the 3 o'clock hitters of baseball, guys who crush the ball during batting practice but come game time go 0-4. Also played with a lot of pitchers who looked like Roy Halladay in the pen then game time and batter in there completely different pitcher, they left their good stuff in the bullpen. Sadly both of these type of players still get drafted based on their raw talent. But like you said you need to compete as much as you can. After not being able to compete this year because of injury really looking forward to next year. Best of luck!
Geoff

For all those who get shaky hands on the tee box, making it hard to tee up the ball, here is a trick. Place your foot right where you want to tee up the ball. Then, brace your hand against your ankle while you tee it up. Yeh, I’ve had to do that a million times. It really works!

this year i am having a frontal lobe resection / removal done just before worlds . maybe then i can shut down my limiting factor enough to make it to friday night . it's funny ,,, the hands don't fumble with the ball so much , the ass cramp on the tee has subsided , but , the brain , that fragile lump of gray goo that sloshes around in my skull still manages to discombobulate and dingdonkey me to the grass every time. so i figure with no ability to process a thought and new Geek slammin ass heads in the bag i can and will get past the round 7 donkey .

Vokey Spin Milled raw finish(rusty) or the Cleveland raw finish tour wedges. The rusty really helps the spin. My Cleveland leaves a scuff on the ball every time.
