I wonder if someone found it for him. Most likely. The problem with teeing up another, a
provisional, is all the damn strokes. But, **** happens.

One of the key things for learning to enjoy golf is to stop keeping
score.

Exactly!!!

I just tell the guys who are with me to add the appropriate number of
strokes, I tee a new one up and hit it ... no matter where I am.

You can come up out of a fairway trap with a driver if you tee the
ball.

Chip'n'putt...or miniature golf...same fun, less time.

There are really a lot of good things to be said for being out on a
golf course. I just have problems with all the pressure they tack on
to a nice walk in the park and hitting the ball.
If you walk the course it is great exercise.

Yesterday we played 'Captains Choice - 4 man team score'. The captain chose the best ball of the
four drives, and we all dropped and hit from there. Then he chose the best iron shot, etc, etc, all
the way to the last putt.

That was a blast. No pressure whatsoever. We had one guy who didn't hit it far, but he was
consistently up the middle. Then the rest of us could try to nail a good one.

What we proved was that even with no pressure we could still dick up a lot of shots. Had a blast
doing it though.

One time my brother and I played a round where we each hit two balls, and then played from the best
shot. From there we'd hit two more and so on. Luckily there was no one behind us, but we played
pretty fast anyway. I ended up with a 79. Not bad. It shows what a person is capable of, if most of
their shots were decent.
