I would venture a guess that about 80 percent of the golfers here and other places, that I've played 18 holes with overestimate their abilities and would have a better time playing from the *ahem* forward tees as it was excruciating watching them humiliate themselves from the white, blue and gold tees here in TV....
Amen
