When you golf, think about your practice time as making deposits and playing time as withdrawals from your golfing account. Make big deposits with good practice sessions and fixing troubled shots.
Showing up early to warm up, practice putting, practice chipping, and a few bunker shots are also additional deposits. Arriving late for your tee time with no practice time equals big withdrawals.
What is the balance of your golfing account when you tee off? How many high risks shots do you take on the first three holes because of lack of preparedness?
Golfing legend Johnny Miller always tried to build up his account before playing in a tournament.
So make those deposits on the range and practicing your most difficult shots to assure your golfing account won’t be hit by insufficient funds by the back nine.
Rules: What’s My Line?
Bill and Cooper Durkin visited Ridgemark Golf and Country Club for the first time but didn’t know the course’s layout. The younger Cooper Durkin asked his father what was the flight line to the green because he had a blind shot over a mound.
Can Bill Durkin help his son with his line of flight or putt during their round of golf? The answer is found at the bottom of the column.

Caddie Quote
“You’ve got to be the worst caddie in the world,” a golfer said to his caddie.
The caddie responded: “I don’t think so sir. That would be too much of a coincidence.”

Rules Answer:
According to rule 8-2, only your partner, your caddie or your partner’s caddie may indicate the line of flight or putt — but not while your stroke is being played.
