No dice to roll. Just aim every shot at the hole and wait for one to fall in. Ballesteros, the wittiest player in golf, was being cute when he described a four-putt green, but golf in its simplest form is a game of 50 to 100 misses and 18 makes. I scoff at players who haven't figured out the difference between the practice range and the course. Good practicers are a nickel a dozen.
Good players are a fraternity of the few.
Getting the ball into the cup is an exercise in skill, vision, creativity, determination and patience. I have always wanted to witness a big-money showdown in which the world's best golfers, their caddies banished to the barn, handle their own clubs and make their own decisions. Just like the rest of us. I wouldn't mind placing these golfers on an unfamiliar course and removing all yardage markers. In other words, force them to play with instinct and courage.
