Q: How do I make a par 5 tee shot better? since I can't see something that small that far away. .

A: after hitting it, start by assuming the ball is OB, lost or in the pond. When you drive / walk up to and see the ball again, in the first cut of rough. . . life is great I might be able to make par . . if I can't find it, I was right again. . . .


Yes, I have read some Mauldin, though i find him too verbose. I used to subscribe to one of his free emails. . too conceptual, powerpointy, not enough hard data for execution purposes.. .

I prefer to learn through the school of hard knocks. .

For golf carry a foot wedge and a device for getting balls from the ponds. Finance still think good no load mutual funds are a good idea
