Spray your driver all day while working on you stance and swing, check.

Discover you were standing too far away from your putter, so standing more upright fixes your alignment on putts, drained long birdie putts on #9 and #18, which are both holes I am usually thrilled just to walk away with par on.

Oh, and your "PGA Tour" style highlight came on the par 3 4th hole. 8 iron from 152 yards hits the flagstick and kicks off the green. So we go from near hole in one to bogey after I couldn't get up and down.

My brother is right, golf is witchcraft.

    PIGDivot golf is witchcraft.

    In a good sense of the way.
    I can't believe how close this game of golf is to what we had been conditioned for thousands of years ( hunt and forage ). Give us the tools and a purpose, and set us free.

      Inconsistency is part of golf's DNA. It's basically one elusive epiphany search after another. Tommy Bolt said it best. The problem with golf is it takes a lifetime to learn how to play. And no one ever masters it. We all can tame it for awhile, but never master it.

      You walk down a Fairway and hear a Flock of Birds early in the Morning and You think that it is a Wonderful day in your Life.

      If that is the case, then You truly Are Blessed.

      For those who can say such are Few.

      And they truly do know how Blessed they are.

      I completely understand. Like Sneaky said - inconsistency is very much part of the game.

      It's a mindless conundrum, this game. My lowest rounds this season (73 and 74) came in tournaments, back-to-back Sundays. Both days were cold, with low-mid 40's and extremely windy. Last week, in nicer warmer weather, my low round was 78. Slapped it around yesterday for 81. As much as I'd like to blame the aerated greens, it was still a very sloppy round. I might've broken 80 under normal green conditions, but that would've been about as good as it would've otherwise been.

      And then, of course, I will reference my buddy who I played with. He's played rather crappy golf the past few weeks, but shot 74 yesterday on those freshly punched greens.

      Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the squirrel that darts out onto the road and gets run over by a Prius.

          Other times ... He Rains all over You.

            It's a great day when ALL the stars align for you.

            It's a great day for me when half of them align

            Its a great day for me if I wake up.
