		<title>Press Release: Mental Toughness Training for Golf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Rob Bell wants all golfers to lower their expectations.

The power of expectations is revealed through numerous examples of players “getting out of their own way” to win, Bell explained.

		<title>Learning Experiences Suck!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tom Lehman has had a long and distinguished career on the PGA Tour, but despite his longevity and victory in the 1996 British Open, he has (only) won five times on tour. The cumulative percentage of his victories per tournament is barely 1 percent. Kenny Perry has won thirteen PGA Tour events in over nineteen years, which accounts for about 2 percent overall. Arnold Palmer won sixty-two tournaments over his nineteen year PGA career for a winning percentage of 8 percent. For comparison, Tiger Wood’s PGA winning percentage is obviously the highest at approximately 27 percent. The lesson here is that we often lose much more than we actually win. Jack Nicklaus once stated “People don’t realize how often you have to come in second in order to finish first.”]]></description>
