Professional golf can be a solitary sport.
It is a game that creates and forces loneliness. Golf is about you, your decisions and your performance in the field. They measure you against others that compete in the same circumstances, but it is not exactly the football where a different open receiver can write down a touchdown or basketball where it can rain the most from beyond the arch.
This does not mean that golf is something that professionals who play experience Only. The expression of something that takes a town is applicable to many walks and experiences in life, but playing golf certainly falls within that range.
Consider the breakdown of the number one in the world Nelly Korda and the team that helps it to promote it that Amy Rogers recently did for Golf Channel. In him, Rogers highlighted how much of a set is the effort to keep Korda playing as well as possible.
When Nelly Korda concluded her media obligations and ended up signing autographs for young fans who stayed to meet the new winner of the Chevron Championship, the darkness had already fallen in Woodlands, Texas.
Korda had just limited a historical golf streak in which he won five consecutive events, the member of the Nancy López Hall and Annika Sorestam as the only women to achieve that feat. In celebration of capturing the first major of the season, just like tradition, Korda jumped into the water next to green 18 at the club in Carlton Woods along with his devout internal circle: swing coach Jamie MulliganCaddy Jason McDedeagent Chris Mullhaupt and athletic coach Kim Baughman.
“Having a great team around me full of positivity and working hard, hard work will always take you somewhere,” Korda told the media that Sunday.
…
Everything is part of the delicate balance that not only McDe, but the rest of the Korda team, deals with Mintain in his daily management of the world. 1, which goes from the practice time of juggling with means of means to regulate emotions in the golf course.
Maintaining a level of play that keeps him as the best person in the world in his sport is clearly not an easy task that makes sense to involve other people who specialize in certain areas. The idea of teamwork makes sense in that regard.
But what seems to make Korda a little more unique here is his intentionality when highlighting his team and giving them their due. This is not always the case with professional athletes.
Consider what Korda had to say Tuesday at Chevron, where he will seek to defend his 2024 title, when asked about the most satisfactory aspect of golf.
I think it has definitely changed every year, but at this time I would say that there are two different sides. One is to see all young children go out and say that we inspire them to collect the golf game and know that the golf game is directed in the big direction when seeing all young children picking up the game.
Two is my team. I love you very much. And then, for us to be together, regardless of the ups and downs, the bass, as we all stayed together, crossed it.
There is a lot of humility, among world class talent, in the game of Nelly Korda. That the union of the team is among the most satisfactory parts of everything that is achieving is in fact something unique in relation to its contemporaries.
Time will say whether Korda may or may not successfully defend her Chevron crown, but she is in a position as solid as it can be to do so. What is more is that it seems to have the right mentality for her to do it.
It should be fun to see.
