People call golf as a gentleman's game. The reason is that I have to calculate and report my own scores. I become a player myself and a judge. No matter what the game is, there are people who always bet. I like to compete with myself, not against others. I like to compete with me yesterday, me a month ago, and me a year ago. It's a great feeling to see that I've improved. However, it is not fun to compete with others and win, especially not because I was good at it, but because others make mistakes and I win. Many people like the result as long as they win. At that time, I am mentally shaken and cannot keep my mind at ease and make mistakes several times. I want to avoid competition with others because I always lose competition with me when I compete with others.

Hi David, your writing clearly expresses your perspective on self-improvement and competition. I refined some sentences for smoother flow and clarity while keeping your original intent. Your viewpoint on competing with yourself rather than others is insightful and inspiring. Keep up the great work!
