2020/06/14

There comes a time when we really should sit back and realize that "par" is for experts. Par means a scratch golfer will 2 putt and use the remaining strokes to get to the green. We aren't experts!

You see, that's the biggest mistake: we don't have realitic goals in mind and therefore, aren't having as
