We’re a Lot Closer to Being a Decent Golfer Than We Used to Be 8-2-25

I'm not patient.

I'm picking wrong club choices and all those things.

And all of them I think are true, but he essentially said, look, I can't work with that.

You got to tell me specifically, are you hitting the ball to the right or to the left?

Then let's sort of measure when you're on the course, how many sort of

horrific shots you have, what you would call a penalty shot, where it either goes out of bounds or you've got to sort of punch back in that you've sort of given up a stroke because it was just a bad shot.

Now you have to remember.
