It seems kinda funny to write about your average golfer who happens to be a golfing buddy of mine. But my posts have never suited the norm anyway. “A great golfer is grandmaster Choo” remarked a friend of mine. Mind you, he is a real beginner at golf and sharing a round with him for a seasoned golfer is not easy to digest. The frequent tops and fats, the one ball lost per hole can really affect your game. But does it affect the grand master? The answer is no. He happily goes along, trying his utmost best to locate the wayward shot. Pinpointing with extreme accuracy of the place where the ball landed. His remark, “It’s between the 4th tree on the right where the hazard marker is”. And true enough, you will see it there.

It has always been the norm for golfers to have a small wager for every round. But should we really go for it? Golfers know that a friendly bet even for lunch or dinner always spruce up the game a notch. But is the normal golfer always getting a fair deal?
