It is not the worst swing of the round, technically speaking, and the shot itself is rarely the hardest one a golfer will face all day. Most first tees are wide, forgiving, and set up to be found with almost any club in the bag.

The routine they have used without thinking on the front nine, the little sequence of waggle, look, breathe, swing, suddenly gets rushed, or skipped, or replaced with something that looks nothing like what came before. It is rarely a swing problem. It is a routine that was never built to survive pressure in the first place, because it was never tested against anything harder than a Tuesday evening fourball.</p>
