It's a gorgeous 83-degree day with a gentle breeze out of the Northeast. You're on a 495-yard Par 5 hole, sitting in the first cut with 205 yards left to the pin and 190 yards to the front of the green. There's a water hazard that requires 175 yards to clear. You study your bag, doing the mental calculation to determine the ideal club.

Here's the rub...you're already lying 6. What the hell are you even thinking about?! It's time for you to get real and play "the ball you don't mind losing".

Sure, you might lose a few (dozen?!) balls but it's a beautiful day, you're hanging with friends, throwing back a few, while your favorite playlist booms in the background.

It doesn't get any better than this.
