The Great Is the Enemy of the Good

There are two kinds of working shots in golf. There are the ones that go straight and get the job done. The others look like they belong in a highight reel, and get the job done.

The first kind are much easier to hit, and as recreational golfers, are the ones we should aspire to.

The second kind pop out every now and then, and they are the memories we take home. But they are not the ones we should chase when we practice.

Good enough is good enough. Once you have that, leave it alone.
