I mean, there's not much, but there's a little bit of nerves. It's not I'm nervous because I haven't prepared. It's just like, I know what to do. It's just, all right, let's go do what we got to do. But it's not like out of control nervous where I'm not prepared because then I already know that I'm not going to play along and I'll never tee off in the turn. That feels like I didn't prepare. Well, you've got that first tea jitters, that's understandable, but those first tea jitters begin when you walk up to the first

tea are like... You've got that first tea jitters, that's understandable, but those first t jitters begin when you walk up to the first tee?

Or like when you're in prep for that tournament coming up and you're starting to think about it?

I never sweat over a first hole shot.

There may be a few shot on the course I don't like, and I might think about it during my round.

But I might get

nervous over a particular tee shot more than the first tee.
