You won't have your best stuff every day, but excellent players find ways to win without their best stuff.
Having "craft versatility" allows you to attack with more than smashes. Have other arrows in your quiver - tips, cut shots, pushes to the deep corner. And don't let your offense interfere with your defense.
Bob Rotello tells a story about Tom Kite playing with the legendary Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus played the first three holes perfectly, then hooked a shot with his driver nearly out of bounds. From then on that round, Nicklaus buried the driver in the bag and played great golf with his three wood and long irons.
The message is that Nicklaus understood he couldn't use the round to work on his mechanics. He needed to impact the golf course with other clubs. Nobody can focus on the game and their mechanics during a match.
Your other clubs also include intangibles:
- Focus
- Communication
- Energy - energizing yourself and teammates
- Leadership
- Resilience
