Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts. It's not a gimme if your still away. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.
Hazards attract, fairways repel.
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. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
