Athletes in the zone tend to report exaggerated perception: The baseball looks to be the size of a grapefruit as it's coming toward the plate, or the basketball hoop appears to be a foot wider than it truly is. It's no different for golfers. Smith cites a study showing that golfers scoring lower (better) perceive the 4.24-inch-diameter hole to be bigger than its true size, whereas struggling players saw a much tinier target on the green.
The red line in the graph above shows how scores climb as perceived hole size shrinks. So if you hit the links and start seeing a 3-inch hole, it might be best to call it a day and head to the clubhouse.
