Re: Under pressure

I was on a golf holiday in Spain last year and playing with a guy who was eager to play for money. Having said that, this same guy was known not to be overgenerous. I agreed to play him for €50 for a round on a matchplay basis. Standing on the 17th par 3 165 yds. I was 1 up. He asked me to double up to €100 for the last two holes and wipe my 1 up advantage. I thought about it and said ok. Then I was wondering had I made the wrong decision. He hit a 5 iron and went well wide of the green. I was really anxious and nervous. I pulled myself together, took out a 7 iron and stitched it 3" to the flag.I then hit a drive on the last par 4 and a wedge to the green for a finishing par. I never was so nervous.
