Better Golf Daily: You Gotta Want It Myth

There's an experiment I can't stop thinking about. Researchers offered people in rural India a month's pay to win one simple game of skill — and the ones with the most on the line played the worst, by a mile. I'll tell you what that has to do with the four-footer you need to win your match, and why the most natural advice in golf might be quietly costing you the shots that matter most. If you've ever stood over a putt, told yourself "this one counts," and watched it slide by, this episode is for you. There's a reason it happens, it's measurable, and it has a name. And the fix isn't trying harder — it's almost the exact opposite, and I think it'll change how you handle pressure for good.
