I have been playing less than a year but have always loved the game. My boyfriend bought me a set of clubs and had me use Pro V1 balls so I would get use to playing the game with great balls, even though I have lost many of them. We were on the 5th hole on the Links of LaBelle Winery, 114 yards over water to a narrow green. I watched the movie 7 Days in Utopia and I just followed his advice. SFT, See it, Feel it, Trust it, my goal was to get over the water, instead it went into the hole.
