If you get on the course this weekend, here are a few of Murphy's Laws
to beware of:
* A two-foot putt counts the same as a two-foot drive.
* The odds of hitting a duffed shot increase by the square of the
number of people watching.
* Never wash your ball on the tee of a water hole.
* The stages of golf are Sudden Collapse, Radical Change, Complete
Frustration, Slow Improvement, Brief Mastery, and Sudden Collapse.
* The only sure way to get a par is to leave a four-foot birdie
putt two inches short of the hole.
* Don't play with anyone who would question a 7.
* If your driver is hot, your putter will be ice cold; if you can
hit your irons, you will top your woods; if you are keeping your
right elbow tucked in, your head will come up.
* Progress in golf consists of two steps forward and 26.6 miles
backward.
* One good shank deserves another.
* It takes 17 holes to really get warmed up.
* One birdie is a hot streak.
* No matter how badly you are playing, it's always possible to play
worse.
* Whatever you think you're doing wrong is the one thing you're
doing right.
* Any change works for three holes.
* The odds of hitting a duffed shot increase by the square of the
number of people watching.
* Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind
during your swing.
* The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his
ideas about the golf swing.
* It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 10.
Work hard, golf easy!
