41.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With golf course architects collaborating more often these days, one collaboration I\u2019d like to see is with the two Jones brothers, Bobby and Rees.<\/p>\n
42.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Many (and I\u2019m tempted to say \u201cmost\u201d) golf writers are not what one would call especially good or accomplished golfers, though there are some exceptions.\u00a0 Hopefully, you will never tell which are which from our writing.<\/p>\n
43.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No one has yet equaled Arnold Palmer for his charisma though Greg Norman came closest.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not aware that Arnie ever demanded an appearance fee or cursed and slammed clubs during his professional career.<\/p>\n
44.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019d much rather play golf with a 36-handicapper who moves along, has an enjoyable time, and smiles as opposed to a scratch player who doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

47.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Golfers are hypnotized by Golf\u2019s Holy Grail as exemplified by the endless recycling of golf instruction in the magazines and video media.<\/p>\n
48.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Only fools own, buy or build a golf course for the sole purpose of making money.\u00a0 Thank goodness there many who have a passion for the game.<\/p>\n
49.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Rules of Golf rival the Internal Revenue Code for their complexity.\u00a0 Both would be better simplified.<\/p>\n
50.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Korean LPGA players on the whole don\u2019t seem to have much fun playing, but they surely are playing well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
