“Success is where preparation and opportunity meet”<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve all been there haven’t we? <\/strong>
15 holes into our Saturday comp, 1 point down on our handicap, and needing a 3 pointer par and a couple of 2 pointers to at least get back to square. Seems pretty doable right? That is until you block your drive on 16 leaving you no choice but to punch out and accept a likely bogey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
