Jeff Bezos on Managing Stress
"Stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that you can have some control over.
So if I find that some particular thing is causing me to have stress, that’s a warning flag for me; what it means is, there’s something that I haven’t completely identified perhaps in my conscious mind, that is bothering me, and I haven’t yet taken any action on it. I find, as soon as I identify it, and make the first phone call or send up the first email message or whatever it is that we’re going to do to start to address the situation, even if it’s not solved, the mere fact that we’re addressing it dramatically reduces any stress that might come from it. So stress comes from ignoring things that you shouldn’t be ignoring, I think in large part.
People get stress wrong all the time in my opinion. Stress doesn’t come from hard work, for example, you know you can be working incredibly hard and loving it."
Walking on the ground for an entire year watching some of the best players in the world play…here are some of my biggest takeaways:
1) AimPoint is here to stay. A majority of the world’s best players are using the system
2) One of the most difficult shots in the game is when the hole is cut on the right side of the green with trouble right and wind blowing right to left. (Also same when hole is cut on left side of green with trouble left and left to right wind). I hardly ever see players riding the wind in that scenario with iron shots. More often than not they are holding shots into crosswinds to make it fly straighter.
3) When laying up with a long iron off of a teebox.. For the most part players stick with their normal trajectory of a 3 iron vs trying to hit the Tiger “stinger”.
4) The best wedge players I watch are able to take more club and bring the flight down. Taking spin off the golf ball and getting the 1 bounce and stop vs full ripped wedges and a ton of spin.
5) Golf is a very frustrating game and even the world’s have trouble containing their tempers. The best players do a great job of resetting on the next shot by verbalizing with their caddie on what they are trying to accomplish.
6) You have to be able to hit it long off the tee but more importantly you have to have a “change up” pitch as well. Even the longest drivers of the ball have a go-to shot whether that is teeing the ball down or aiming up the left and hitting a cut. Very few players hit the same driver shot on every single hole especially for the longer players.
7) You can start a stopwatch with most Tour players from when they start their routines to when they finish and it will be within seconds just about every time.
I’m sure there are others that I will think of but this should spark some thought for any golfer trying to improve their golf game.
