Golf is a high precision sport where even the slightest mistake is punished severely by the course that is unforgiving to careless mistakes. This is one sport where you can be on cloud nine one moment and brought down to earth the very next moment, courtesy some carelessness that crept in so surreptitiously, that you hardly noticed. A top golfer is an epitome of concentration, ability to withstand pressure and the ability to take the highs and low with equanimity. These qualities and load of talent is what differentiates a champion from the stragglers of the game.
