One day I was on the driving range with a golf pro with the goal of improving my 150 yard drive when all of a sudden a rather stout man with a beer belly and ciggarette in his mouth effortlessly tee’d a 250 yard shot. I mean how does that work?  Do you need to drink several bottles of beer? They say you get bad breaks from good shots and good breaks from bad shots. I don’t know if this is true as it seems to me regardless how anyone finishes the game it is really about playing the ball where it lies.

Golf is a lot like business. You have to turn every challenge into an opportunity and cease the moment. So, if you hit out of the trap with gusto only to find the ball hits the lip and settles back in the sand next to you consider this only a temporary setback in the game and call Davis Love immediately.

Incidently, the golf pro wrote me a prescription for a new driver and I am now teeing off at 180 yards.
