The only problem with golf is that the slow groups are always in front of you and the fast groups are always behind you. When it comes to putters, try before you buy: Never buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it. You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10-percent of the time, but hit a 2-inch branch 90- percent of the time. Golf is a game where the ball lies poorly and the golfers lie well. Q: What's the easiest shot in golf? A. Your fourth putt. Brand new golf balls are attracted to water, and the power of the attraction is in direct proportion to how much the balls cost.
