Not just the driving range, Tank. Like my dad used to say (and it’s an old saw, apparently), “Drive for show, putt for dough.” Ask any of the golfers at the U.S. Open why the Chambers Bay course was keeping them from breaking par and most will tell you it was because the greens were totally unpredictable.
Well said, Tank, well said. I’ve always heard it said, “Drive for show, putt for dough.” But practice makes perfect. Or, as Cal Ripken, Sr. was known to say, perfect practice makes perfect.
I’ve always thought Golf would be more Interesting if the full Sized courses took a lesson from the Mini golf world and added a few Windmills & Clown Mouths to the Greens..Just for Grins & Giggles..Forget the Water hazard & Sand Traps.Just Try getting that Winning Putt through the Alligator’s Mouth without it bouncing off one of the teeth….

Tank looks surprisingly slimmed down here.
I assume that Is Tank, or someone else with the same facial shape.

Those guys make it look so easy that we forget the hours and hours and hours of practice they have to spend perfecting their game.

“Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I’ve played the game for 50 years and I still haven’t the slightest idea of how to play.” – Gary Player
“Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it’s open to anybody who owns hideous clothing.” – Dave Barry
