Golf Truisms

1. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.

2. The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental.

3. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.

4. Any change works for a maximum of three holes and a minimum of not at all.

5. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

6. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all your errors.

7. If it ain't broke, try changing your grip.

8. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is
like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

9. Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.

10. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a
straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

11. There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces, and bounces just
the way you meant to play it.

12. You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and 2-inch branch
90% of the time.

13. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two
triple bogies to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

14. Hazards attract; fairways repel.

15. You can put "draw" on the ball, you can put "fade" on the ball,
but no golfer can put "straight" on the ball.

16. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

17. If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your
ball is in the bunker.

18. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.

19. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

20. People who swear they're going to give up the game never do. Those
who do give it up never talk about it.
