Ups and downs are part of every game. They are common to all sports and every sportsperson experiences them now and then. What sets players apart is how they cope with the lows to bounce back into the high time.

Golfers are familiar with the viral 5-putt disaster video on Twitter. Paul Goydos is the golfer who is the one making that putt. Needless to say, to recover from that sort of putting a lot of practice, hard work and dedication are required. In a recent clip posted by PGA Tour Champions, he revealed how he dealt with his low period with the help of ice cream.

Paul Goydos Opens Up About His Humorous Five-Putt Incident

The two-time PGA tour winner came out and opened up about his embarrassing five-putt incident at the 17th Hole at $330,000 The Ally Challenge 2023.

It was called one of the slowest putts on the golf course which went about 5 feet to the left of the projected line. This five-part led to him making a triple bogey. In an interview with the PGA Tour, he pointed out that for the last 15 years, he’s been battling flinches that resurfaced at the wrong time.

Goydos also admitted that “The third and the fourth putts were horrible.” He also dived into the difference between putting yips and flinches. He further went on to say that his condition is rather a subconscious one where in the middle of his putting stroke, he realises: ” you’re in big trouble, you need to adjust.”

He also added an element of humor by pointing out that when you miss three putts, you probably need to work on that; if you miss four, you need to go to the psychiatrist and if you miss five, you are comically bad.

He then went on to talk about the route he took to deal with his five putts. Of course, the five putts are comically bad as he already pointed out, and to him at the time chocolate was looking like the best cure possible.
