[Burner]

However, I did not appreciate just how much until today.

Recently I have hit the crest of a slump - nothing goes according to plan and I can convert Gold into Mud; Midas go figure.

Today was the day of reckoning. Whenever I hit a bad shot I simple dropped another ball, hit it from the same spot, and played both balls from there on in and counted each separately from tee to cup.

Some holes I only had to play one ball. On the other "two ball holes" the shots that preceded ball 2's introduction into play were simply added to the shots subsequently taken with ball 2.

The end result was a 19 shot difference between the two scores.

If only I could take my second shot first.
