In golf, a so-called choke is a mis-hit shot, sometimes caused by a golfer's inability to handle the pressure. But sometimes it is also caused by the position of a golfer's hands on the handle of a golf club. The Choke can basically also be the poor playing in a round after the golfer had the position to win.
