Old-time gambler Pug Pearson spoke of the “choking point.” The choking point was on display during a skins game he played against three competitors. At the 18th tee, Pearson was up two holes on one man, one hole on another, and even with the third. Pearson teed off first and hit a drive that ricocheted off a tree branch, sending the ball backward some fifty yards. After a minor tantrum and a round of ribbing, Pearson suggested they press all bets. The other players agreed…then proceeded to do something they hadn’t done all day: slice their drives well into the rough.
