Don’t Be a “Well Wisher”

Remarks like, “come on knock it in,” “you da man,” “Ok it's up to you big guy,” “you can do it,” “we need this one,” and the grand-daddy of them all “knock it straight down the middle.” Do these comments really help? Not on your life.
Most remarks such as those are well meaning but totally uncalled for. If I wasn't trying my best (like most playeres are) I wouldn't be on the golf course in the first place. I don't need a peanut gallery to cheer me on, in fact, it is terribly distracting. I can't figure out why players do this, can you?
