  • you just have to let some perfect ones go
  • Some just don’t get moving Fast & far enough to clear trouble
  • they die, soar, crash & sail
  • Incredible unexpected results happen sometimes 
  • You can have 2 in play at the same time under very special circumstances & for a very limited time - like when you need an official ruling
  • Sometimes you just get tired and don’t want to play, especially if your “keeper” is lost 
  • a drivable par 5 would be like taking Love to a new level
  • it can change 
  • the next day they both look different ..... but love feels 
  • Sometimes it just appears right in front of you 
  • It’s fun even if you can’t see where it’s going. If you are good and/or lucky it is found right where you want it to be 
  • it gets easier to lose them the more you do
  • They can be played fast & loose or anything in between safe & sound.
