The advice in there is great and has helped me a great deal. The round of golf book gives you some idea of the thought process involved in playing on a course, making different choices and not always trying for the "big" shot.

My favorite quote is "always take the shot that will make your next shot easier." NOT the shot that you might have an outside chance of making once or twice a season.

A great example from my own play... hit a drive with too much fade and ended up in the rough with some trees between me and the hole. If I hit a 5i just right, I could get it on the green. if I hit a 7i i could easily get it to a great location on the fairway and then have an easy shot onto the green. Since no one was behind me, I hit both. 5i shot didn't make it, took me 3 shots to get on the green. Was on the green as predicted with the 7i shot and had an easier put than when I eventually got on the green after the 5i.

When you are a 100+ player, that can have an amazingly positive impact on your score.
