Those of us who have legitimate ones, have the "real thing".

I have 13 full shot "hole outs" from the Fairway (which if you're a golfer, you know are usually more difficult). It won't be long before there's a new name for fairway hole outs & folks will be wanting plaques.

You have to admire the pro golfers, just breaking par there is an accomplishment.

I don't ever play the tips. As a courtesy to the people behind me (that's a joke, son), but never had the game for it. Well, that's not entirely true, in some amateur events I qualified into flights that required it, where it then became evident I was in over my head.
As I approach 70, I'm finding more and more courses are too much from me from the whites. I fear the Greens are just a birthday away.
