OK, please allow me to paint a portrait for you: It's Saturday morning. The course is insanely crowded. Your foursome is finally up after having waited a half hour for groups ahead of you. Behind your group (on the cart path leading up to the first tee) are 6 carts waiting impatiently to tee off. It's your turn to drive the golf ball. You walk up to the tee box and think to yourself that there are a total of 15 eyes upon you.

What goes through your mind? Are you confident or do you allow yourself to think the worst (ie worm burner, duck hook, bannana ball etc.) How's your stomach? Butterflies? Worse?

OK. Here's the question: With so many impatient people waiting and watching does it affect your normal routine, mindset, or execution? This is usually one of golf's greatest fears, so don't be afraid to be honest about your emotions.
Second time ever on the course this exact same situation happened to me^^^^ I forgot my glove my palms were sweaty as hell, everyone was watching me went to tee off at the first hole, and what do you know the club slips out of my hand and right into the lake to my left. To make things worse the graphite shaft caused it to float, my grandpa runs to his car to get his fishing pole and fishes it out for me..............I don't get so nervous anymore, that did it in for me and nothing would surprise me
