I love the psychology of coming to a club pro event and the first thing you hear from some guys is " I havent played in a week" "Havent touched a club since wednesday" or "Shoulders been bothering me" etc etc etc....

Fear of failure. Not taking responsibility for poor play. Blaming external factors.

Its hard to say..."Ive prepared and Im ready". Now if you play poorly, you have to look in the mirror. Its much easier to blame not touching a club or some phantom neck strain. No excuses!!!!!!!!

What if you call out your injuries or lack of practice and just crush everyone? What does that mean? Those days are always nice.

The "poor mouther" is the worst of 'em all, and usually the only time the full ire of my redneck "wit" rears it's ugly head.

Guy at our weekly game turns over a nothing card, then goes "But I have got this one...." when he wins a hand...

Shocking etiquette
