Halfway thru a poor round and you think is just the yips getting to you.
But the nutritionists have a more scientific explanation; low blood sugar from an improper diet causes nervousness.
"They would get irritable,jumpy,nervous and cranky." says Dan Benardot,an associate professor in kinesiology and health at Georgia State University and co-director of the Laboratory for Elite Athletic Performance.
SUGGESTIONS;

Suggested serving; A glass of juice and some toast,something amounting to 400 calories.Bagel with peanut butter,oatcereal and nuts.
