Randy had just four putted the fourth green after expecting a two putt for par. The double bogey sent him into a tailspin where his self-talk became toxic and ruined the rest of his round. Glen was playing with him and shot 97 that day. His many double bogeys didn’t seem to affect him at all. Two days after the round, he sent an e-mail to Randy in hopes they could play again the following Monday.
