G P S -- Smile More!

What makes you smile from ear to ear on the golf course?

Is it that one dead-solid perfect shot (because it happens so seldom)?

Is it a well-executed draw or fade?

Is it a good shot from a difficult lie?

Or is it a great recovery shot?

If you are a golfer, only #1 applies, but for a player it's all of the above and more!

You see, golf is a game played on a course that changes with every shot -- that's pretty obvious.  Golfers try to work the ball straight, but players work the course.

What does that mean?  It means that not every shot should be hit solid and straight.  Hey, the course is not flat.  When the ball is above your feet it's supposed to pull or draw, and below your feet it's supposed to push or fade.

But they don't always.

Grass gets in the way.  Or it doesn't.

Wind happens.  Or it doesn't.

The ball bounces.  Or it doesn't.

Golfers?  Well, they keep trying to hit it straight...

Players know these things, and they use them to their advantage.

Let's start playing the game... and if we do we'll smile more!
