Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
The most important shot in golf is the next one.
Good golf begins with a good grip.
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot 18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?
Selecting a stroke is like selecting a wife. To each his own.
I see no reason that a golf course cannot be played in 18 birdies. Just because no one has ever done that doesn't mean it can't be done.
