Stop Whining about the Blind Golf Shot

Have you played Lahinch? Royal County Down? Prestwick? Brora? The Road Hole? The Doak Course at Dismal River in Nebraska? Well people, get over it and hit the blind shot as these wonderful golf courses (like many others) have them. North Americans are pampered with holes that you can see roll out in front of you. Not so on the blind shot. Hmmmm…Hit at that cow in the distance and pray? Or, strategically bunt a hybrid to keep in play. How about striking it with a smile on your face? I tell golfers to play true links golf in the UK or Ireland once in their lifetime to understand. Quirky, yes. Real, yes. This is traditional golf and how Old Tom Morris played. Stop your bellyaching and embrace this nervy shot.
