Grayden correctly points out that if you don’t care then it’s possible. But (there’s always a but). It’s my experience not many can play without caring. I can only think of one golfer who is able to do it consistently. He plays for fun and doesn’t care what scores he shoots. His scores are inconsistent…
It might not be possible. Doesn’t mean you succumb to the awkwardness or uneasiness. Embrace it. Accept that fear (or self-doubt or whatever you’re going to call it) is normal.

I was frustrated watching Adam Scott putt over the last few weeks. It was like he was putting with one arm tied behind his back. Just didn’t look comfortable or ready. He should have won the Australian Masters. He wasn’t at his best and certainly did well to recover from a poorish first round. And…
