My "Aha" Moment

My "aha" moment happened to me this summer in what was considered as my biggest tournament of the year.  All summer, my golf game had been at its finest, and I was playing to a new level that I ha played in previous years.  However, for whatever reason, I seemed to slip when I was put into a tournament.  throughout my life I have played a lot of competitive golf, and i knew how to deal with nerves and pressure.  However, for whatever reason, this summer I struggled in my competitive rounds, due to some sort of subconscious nerves that i was unable to pin point.  I spent a long time trying to figure out what was getting to me; whether it was nerves of going to school, trying to get ready to compete at a division one level, or simply the life changes that I was going through, I did not know.  I talked to my father a great deal about my golf game, and he was always optimistic.  He gave me advice, asked me what I was thinking about during my rounds, and told me to be patient because at that point, I was closer than I had ever been to a breakthrough where my game would click. 
Finally, the end of the summer, I reached my final tournament before school started.  For my four competitive days that week, and the six 18 hole matches I played in, I finally played at my fullest potential, and everything that I had learned about golf, my mental game, and my swing had clicked.  I felt a feeling that i have never felt before, and an adrenaline rush that I will never forget.  During that week, I had multiple "aha" moments and i finally understood what I needed to do to win, and I was going to do everything that I had to in order to win.  I won my tournament that week, and with the competitive year that I had, it was exactly the "aha" moment I needed to end my competitive season, and to begin another season at Siena.
