| I haven't had to deal with hecklers, although on our Shottalk outings we do get in some friendly ribbing.
However I do know what you mean as for the longest time if I played by myself or with strangers I was fine. I love playing thru as 9 out of 10 times for some reason I smoke the crap outta my drives with strangers watching me. But put me in a situation with friends & I start sucking. I know it's because I put too much pressure on myself. With strangers I don't care if I look good or not, but with friends you don't want to look like a horrible golfer so I start to over think everything, hand position, feet, even my club choice.
I think for the most part I have pretty much gotten over it this year though. Played quite a few times with Zaphod seems to have helped. Lasr time I played with the guys from work I played fantastic & was very very pleased with just about everything, although on that day my putting wasn't the best.
For myself the key has been a lot of practice where I have gotten good enough to make some nice shots & I have confidence in making them. Then when I play with friends I try to really not think about my game & just let it happen.
