Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure.
I couldn't hit an elephant's ass with a bull fiddle.
You can't win them all but you can try.
That little white ball won't move until you hit it, and there's nothing you can do after it has gone.
My philosophy? Practice, practice, practice and win.
I expect to play golf until I am 90-even longer if anybody figures out a way to swing a club from a rocking chair.
