Every night you have different match-ups, and you have 82 games, so physically you are going to get tired. You have to be ready mentally to bring your energy and bring the juice every night.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I play in a tournament, sometimes I'm feeling tired and don't want to play in the tournament. I don't want to lose.
I like to keep myself physically and mentally fit before any important match. I usually take a short nap just before the game and do not practice immediately before the tournament.
I like to get more than my normal 10 hours of sleep nights before a game.
When I was playing I felt tired all the time. My recovery period was a lot longer than the other players. They'd be ok after an hour - I'd have to stay in bed till the next session.
Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs you of your skills and your judgment, and it blinds you to creative solutions. It's the best-conditioned athlete, not the most talented, who generally wins when the going gets tough.
When you're at your absolute, most exhausted... That's when you have to be at the top of your game.
This game is crazy. You're up and down, up and down. When you feel good, you want to be there every time for the team.
Like I said, when you have to play against a great player every night, that defines who you are if you can compete on that same level night in and night out.
You always feel pretty good after a bye, after a couple of days off. Not having a game, you freshen up a little.
Rest is huge because if you're sleep-deprived, that can definitely run into the mental side of the game and can definitely hurt your game if you're playing tournament golf.
