3) You get through the rack and then, at the moment of victory, you miss the ‘money’ ball. Oh, yeah we’ve all been there. It is a sick feeling. All those fine shots count for nothing if you miss the money ball.
If you haven’t seen it rent the movie “The legend of Bagger Vance”. If you’ve seen it, watch it again. Watch at least the last 45 minutes or so. The two critical shots are the one in the woods and the last putt. For those 2 shots Junuh is ‘in the zone’. Bagger calls it ‘the field’. The reality of ‘the zone’ isn’t quite like the Hollywood version but it is close. Everything else kind of fades away and it is just the cue ball, the object ball and the pocket. You aren’t really there. Time seems to slow down. You are just watching the ball go in the pocket. There isn’t any doubt it will go in because it has already happened.
