Not even 50 years old and falling apart. You've got to wonder - lifestyle? swing technique? heredity? or something else? Yes, we are all aware of the major accident, but for someone who has physically done "everything" to make himself one of the greatest golfers of all time, you have to wonder. Don't think I've known any golfer in the past that has gone through so many injuries and surgeries. -

Season underway. Home course Round 2 broke the ice with two birdies on hole 6 ((9 iron) and 9 (8 iron), both par 3s. I will try to be diligent in recording this year. Hoping to add at least one on the away course sheet at the end of March with my first ever overseas (Japan) round. -

No, it won't. Statistically, that's wrong. Length misses are higher penalties. Plus the comparison wasn't even: it was controlling the distance within a yard or two (let's say 3 yards depth) and 15 yards left or right (30 * 3 = 90 square yards) or "pretty much dead straight" (let's assume the same 3 yards, even though that's an incredibly tight definition for "straight") and only from 150 yards out is your distance control ± 15 yards for the same 90. From 170, it's 34 * 3 = 102. Tiger Woods once said "the secret to good golf is being hole high." The stats bear that out, too. And the numbers back up what I and @klineka have said. 😄 -

Normally I'd say that's silly: birdieing a hole is birdieing a hole so long as you're not playing WAY short (like me playing the forward 4800 yard tees). But… you play enough golf, I think, that it may be fair. 😄 Like two home courses.
