I think that there is another difference between Guitar Hero and golf and that is interesting. Let's say that a guy gets pretty good at Guitar Hero and can play like the dickens in his living room with nobody around. Then he gets setup by his girlfriend who thinks he is really cool to play for her family who he gas never met. She told them how great he was at guitar hero and now there is now way out but to play and not make an idiot of himself. So if this guy is like most folks he is going to be really nervous about playing but when he actually gets started he might start out a little slowly with a mistake or two but his choke impulse will be overcome as the notes start coming fast and his concentration rises and there is no time for thinking. So he will play well and make his girlfriend proud! Afterwords while basking in the glory he will think how easy it was and how he really could have done this or that a little better... Golf is different imho in that you have a lot more time to think between shots and there is plenty of time to get cement elbow.
LOL my post is a pretty good advertisement for Clear Key no?
BTW should that have been 'who' or 'whom' he has never met??? I am to lazy to look it up...
