As the golf season begins, some
thoughts to ponder.... |
| |
|
|
- Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind
during your swing.
- When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit
one more club or two more balls.
- If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out,
you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.
- No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.
- Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.
- Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
- You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two-inch branch 90% of the time.
- The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental.
- Hazards attract, fairways repel.
- You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on the ball, but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball.
- A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.
