I could have felt like this is too much and having the bollocks basically to walk off and say, no more trauma.

And I text another player who's been very good, who's had a good career around that time and said he had a difficult period in his career.

And I asked him, did he ever think of stepping away and taking a break?

And he said, no, I never had the balls.

And I think to...

almost like break the mold and, and break the chain.

I suppose you've got to be really brave and make a strong decision.

And like, you know, walking off a golf course, you know that the tour are going to look at that and just find you straight away.

And to me, that sends the wrong message.

I know there are gray areas with players over the years, but yeah,

You've got to see past all that.

And eventually, I suppose I got brave enough to not add any more trauma.

And so when I came back out onto a golf course, James Martin, who you know, Eddie, helps me with my swing.

He said, let's go out with a six iron and a putter.

And we played nine holes with a six iron and a putter because I had no trauma associated with those clubs.

And we started from there.

And I suppose gradually over time, I built more tools and more resilience to be

and failing, but falling to a place where I felt a lot safer to fall rather than just I've got nowhere to go now.

And then, yeah, the vicious cycle continues.

So, yeah, I suppose it was a gradual process of putting things like that in place.
