Here's LPGA tour player Daniela Yacabelli on confidence.

Daniela, is confidence overrated or is it the real deal to become a better golfer?

Confidence is underrated.

I think people spend a lot more time on worrying about their swing, where it's at, how they want it to look, whatever it is.

But, I mean, I got a buddy back home who chips with a six, he chips with a nine iron, but hoods it to like a six.

And he looks goofy as hell when he does it, but he's always right next to the pin.

He has the confidence to pull off this chip that I couldn't dream of doing, but I mean,

I've lost money to him before, so what am I going to do?

He's got it and it works.

Yeah.

So confidence is everything in golf, everything.
