If a hacker golfer (like us) cracks off a 240-yard drive, down the middle of the fairway -- the shot of his life -- and the ball comes to rest in . . . in . . in a DIVOT! . . . we would walk up to the poor lie and immediately think
"Man, what a crappy break. I'll NEVER be able to hit that shot!"
A professional golfer takes on look at the lie and says "hmm, better use one more club -- hand me my 7-iron."
Any thoughts of "this just isn't fair" don't even cross his mind -- he's all about what he needs to do to solve the problem.
