In this episode, Dr. Cohn answers a question from a reader about Golfers Who Play Down to the Level of Competitors. SCOTT: I play better when I compete with better players, but I also play worse with higher handicapped golfers. I find myself losing focus and not using the same pre-shot routine. I’m disappointed when I don’t use a consistent pre-shot routine when playing with golfers below my ability.
