I don't believe in philosophies. I believe in fundamentals.
Tee your ball high...air offers less resistance than dirt.
Keeping the head still is golf's one universal, unarguable fundamental.
If you design something pretty with good golf shots in it, then I think that's the combination that creates a really nice golf course.
I don't think you would have missed that putt, but in these circumstances, I would never give you the opportunity.
Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.
