“ Golf is very much a thinking-man’s game. It’s all about strategy. You can practice well, however, having strong mental fortitude is key. You have to be able to focus during a golf match in order to give yourself a chance to succeed. The worst thing you can do is play on an empty (or half-empty) stomach. Eating well before and during a match allows me to have the energy to stay mentally strong.”
