Option 2

Defeat can be dangerous because wallowing in the pits of despair can cause serious mental issues and that is obviously something you would want to avoid at all costs. My player, like me, handles defeat the same way which is you take it one step and one game at a time. Sometimes life just doesn't go your way so you come back the next game or the next year and you give it your all again. Like life, sometimes your best just isn't good enough. If you dwell on it too long and go and do something competitive like play golf you can potentially just drag those memories back up so my player likes to go find something relaxing to do like go to the beach or go camping or be with friends. I never understood the allure of golf like what's the point exactly? Dress up in your fancy clothes to go hit a ball in the heat? Seems stupid tbh.
