Golf is recognized as one of the more difficult games to play or teach. One reason for this is that each person necessarily plays by feel, and a feel is almost impossible to describe.

If I needed advice from my caddie, he'd be hitting the shots and I'd be carrying the bag.

I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.

It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.
