Golfers seem to be doing about 1.2 strokes per round better without fans in the stands.

I played Poppy Hills with two of my friends once.  Guy joins us on the first tee, and he was smoking hot.  I don't know what his score was, but he was two under on 16 and he was playing from the tips.  Later, he told us that he was a lobbyist in Sacramento and he played 5-6 times per week.  The three of us had terrible rounds.

Nice to play when there's less pressure -- or no pressure.  Best round of my life -- by far -- was a weekday round with just me and Mrs. Mick.  No co-workers, no teammates, no one in back of us, no one in front of us. I bettered my previous best by eight strokes.
