The mental game of golf

At the 20th time of asking, Darren Clarke has won the open. I watched every shot today and the mental strength needed to achieve this success is unbelievable. A winning attitude which saw off the competition. Considering what Darren went through in his personal life in the last 5 years it shows how much he believed in his own ability.
No training today. Pizza and beer while watching the golf. Today I decided no more swimming for at least 2 weeks as my right shoulder is not feeling good. I've booked the physio for my return but fortunately I don't need to be swimming. The good thing about triathlon is that while swimming is ruled out I can still cycle and run. It's easy to ignore aches and pains but it doesn't do you any good in the long run.
