Golf Emulates Life!

I recently received an email from Tom Fischer;

 

      LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON LAST WEEK IN BLACK RIVER.  STARTED OUT WITH A DOUBLE, TRIPLE, QUAD, DOUBLE, DOUBLE, DOUBLE.  WAS +15 AFTER THE FIRST 6 HOLES!  I WOULD NEVER DO IT, BUT FELT LIKE PULLING A "DID NOT FINISH" AND WALKING OFF AFTER 6 HOLES.  THEN, SOMETHING HAPPENED.  MADE A FEW CORRECTIONS, DUG DOWN A LITTLE, AND PLAYED THE LAST 12 HOLES AT +9!  FINISHED TIED FOR THIRD, GOT 11 POINTS, AND $42.50!  THE LESSON LEARNED IS NEVER GET DOWN, NEVER GIVE UP.  THERE'S ALWAYS THE NEXT HOLE TO PLAY.  ANYWAY, THANKS AGAIN, AND I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

Footnote:  The very next week at Drugan's Castle Mound, Tom won by a single stroke.
