This anaconda idea occurred to me after playing golf, and amid all of the other confusing bets, my friend said, “We’re also playing snake.â€ So, being the highest handicapper with the lowest golf intelligence, I foolishly said, “What’s this about a snake?â€

The snake is a three putt. The first one to do it gets the snake and this goes on until the end of the round. Of course, I avoided the snake for 17 holes, but it was slowly choking me because I was thinking about it all the time. 

Yes, I three-putted the last hole…that’s the ultimate anaconda. 

Hasn’t happened since because now on the first hole I don’t think about it, nor do I worry for 17 more holes. I’ve finally learned to play in the moment.

Would suggest, “Let your opponent think about the anaconda, and let it do what it does: chokes.â€
