After all, once you have driven,
provided you hit the ball at all. it
must wind up somewhere. No in-
stance of a golf hall remaining
suspended in mid-air is on record,
although the pesky little things
have done just about everything
ehe.
For the sake or aivument, howev-
er. let us assume that the'average
d'itler can land his toe shot, by
hook or Slice, somewhere within an
area of 7,500 square yards in the
general direction of the pin. This
allows for an appreciable margin of
error, and should cover most of
the known cases of shanking, toji-
ping and sneezing by caddies.
Well, if the entire 7,500 square
a rds were divided ofl into dimnu-
'i o areas, each the size of the
cup. there would be 697,500 such
areas or potential resting olaces for
the ball
The trick, of course, is to get it
into the right one, but sifter all,
what are odds of 697,500 to 1 ’
