I introduced the notion of "bounce back" earlier. The PGA Tour compiles over thirty individual statistics on each PGA professional, including, for example, driving distance, number of putts per round, and scoring average.

One such statistic is the "bounce back percentage," which is the percent of time that a player is over par on a hole and then is under par on the following hole. Essentially it measures a player's ability to rebound from a poor performance on a particular hole. Is he physically and mentally able to put the poor score, poor swing, poor putt, or bad break of the previous hole behind him? As of this writing, the number one and number two ranked players in the world, Tiger Woods and Ernie Els, are tied at 29 percent for the top spot in this particular category. Sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella says, "One of the ironies of golf is that bad players have a harder time accepting bad shots than good players do."2 If you want to raise your bounce back percentage, work on your leadership competencies. Increased confidence will follow.
