| I firmly believe that there should be a 5 | | | | revelation. |
| iron tournament!One club, one ball, one | | | | |
| golfer and his wits.No bulky bags to manage, | | | | Not wanting to appear rude, after all he |
| prancing nymph-like freely along the fairways | | | | seemed to feel like he had just imparted some |
| and whistling Dixie through a cheese-filled | | | | golf holy grail secret and was expecting a |
| Brady Bunch smile...Ya Right!You see, I have | | | | sniper to "take him out" from the clubhouse |
| done it. (Prancing and Dixie whistling and | | | | toilet window for his act of disobedience. I |
| Brady Bunch smile excluded, usually.) | | | | responded the only way possible."Huh?" The |
| | | | sound kind of forced its way out. "Ahem, |
| When I was younger my father advised me to | | | | that's interesting" I cajoled, hoping it |
| practice my game using what he called "the | | | | would make him stop."And"....he paused...his |
| most versatile club in your bag"."This club | | | | head glancing at the toilet window just to be |

| he would articulate wisely.Feeling somewhat | | | | center position one can easily match the best |
| like the kid in the kung-fu series , I would | | | | drive" he finished, like an awestruck kid |

| tilt the shaft back, you can simulate the 7, | | | | wisely and walked away. |
| 8 and 9 irons". Flabbergasted, I made no | | | | |
| retort but stood like a wide-eyed bunny | | | | I don't remember how many rounds I played |
| rabbit seconds prior to becoming | | | | with just a 5 iron, but it was one of the |
| roadkill."Ya", he would continue, his voice | | | | best pieces of advice I have ever received |
| becoming more animated as he mistook my fear | | | | concerning the game.My whole game improved |
| for enthusiasm, "And if you play the ball off | | | | and upon returning to my full set to play a |
| your right foot and slightly close the face, | | | | round, I noticed a vast improvement in my |
| she acts like a putter".He eagerly gazed upon | | | | technique.So, come on guys...Play 5 iron 4 |
