Hey Team!

I'm sure that many of you have played team sports prior to picking up golf. As you know part of being a team is having a team captain. This person has the charisma, leadership, and skills needed to lead his/her team onto the field. The team trusts the captain to make the right calls in the tight situations, to bring the team spirit up when the team is down, and to be the role model for what a good teammate and player should be. In golf unless you're playing on a team, you're on your own.

My question: How to do you captain yourself? i.e. how do you fire yourself up to "rush the field" before a match.

I know that golf is about containing emotion and being very level in mind. But I want to know how you get yourself into "game mode."

Thank you all for your posts. I look forward to reading all of them!
