INSIGHT

Golf Is A Poker-Like Variance Game

Insight: Golf and poker share massive variance; short-term results don't reflect skill.
Volume (more rounds/hands) smooths variance and reveals true ability over time.

ADVICE

Plan For The Miss

Do plan for misses by deciding where you want the ball to land when you miss the green.
Practice placing a ball off the green to visualize your preferred miss before choosing a club.

ANECDOTE

Lying About Yardage Helped Friends Hit Greens

Alex lied about yardages to friends so they'd club up and stop missing short.
The friends then hit more greens and thought they suddenly had a 'perfect' club.
