I am not a fan of taking a week off. In fact, one of the quotes my players must memorize is, "Take one day off and you know it. Take two days off and your opponent knows it. Take three days off and everyone knows it."
I had a serious golf tournament today. I could not golf for three years due to a hip and then hip replacement. Last year, at the end of summer, I was allowed to start again. I didn't get many opportunities to play after being given the go-ahead to golf again. The last two weeks, I started preparing for the tournament. I played horribly with the exception of one round. HORRIBLE. Then, when I reached the height of frustration and anger, the quote, "Physician heal thyself" hit me. I shot a 72 today or one over. To give you an example of what I was shooting, last week's best round was a 81 and then in the high 80s. Again, I don't believe in taking days off. I played in the rain, ... and today, I healed thyself.
