What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.
I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
I've noticed the sound of the golf ball being hit by the golf club is different, and much more realistic, with the hearing aids.

It is at the same time, rewarding and maddening. And it is without doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.
