The beautiful thing about the game of golf is you can play good golf and compete well into your later years, and you can't do this in basketball or football or baseball. But in golf, it's a longer live sport.

They've really just bumped any short hitters out of the championship consideration equation.
bumped difficult faced hitters short shots
They've really bumped any short hitters out of consideration. It's more difficult for shorter hitters. The shorter hitters are faced with a lot of improper shots into greens.
ball carry face hold instead open popping release shot square target toe toward turn uphill
It may be the most misunderstood shot of all. I play the uphill shot with a square clubface (rather than an open face) and let the toe turn over and release through the ball (rather than hold the face open). That way, the ball will carry toward the target instead of popping up short.

The lower-voltage hybrids will give you better efficiency than you'd get with a conventional vehicle, but they still don't provide the power you need to do full hybridization. For that, you've got to jump to something higher at least 200V. Given the spectrum of voltages available in the electrical system, you get all the efficiency from the higher voltages, so why spend your time on the 'in-between' voltages?
golf games trying
This game is so elusive. You try to maintain the peaks and level up the valleys.
