Golf is such an odd game. It is such an impressive exercise in mind/body balance, or at least the search for it. Conditions were apparently a little windier today; the field generally scored higher. I am, nonetheless, intrigued by the phenomenon of a ten stroke swing in back-to-back rounds. He had a 3-stroke swing on the first hole (!) from an eagle 2 yesterday to a bogey today. He had four birdies and an eagle with one bogey yesterday. He had two double bogeys and three bogeys today. The marginal difference in contact between the two days is minuscule. The differential is almost entirely contained in the six inches between his ears.
