Golf is a difficult game at the best of times, excepting, of course, that one day in a blue moon when nothing will go wrong; you hit a tree and the ball is deflected to the green and ends up at the lip, for the easiest of birdies!
Many, in the golfing fraternity, have not had that day but they are still waiting! And that does not take any toll on the level of enjoyment all lovers of the game carry in their veins.
