Leisure Golf and Tournament Golf

Playing golf with your Sunday group is a completely different animal then playing and preparing for golf tournaments.
First, there is no pressure when playing with your group of regulars. You generally shoot the same scores, have the same handicap and get out to enjoy the surroundings. If you miss a putt it may cost you some “skin” money or a beverage of choice but you will see these guys again next week.
Tournament play on the other hand is much different. Instead of three players trying to beat you, like your regular group, there are 154 players all trying to do the same thing — win the tournament.
