[dropcap]A[/dropcap] day after returning from a four-day, 144-hole golf odyssey in Michigan, I could not stop thinking about the impact Day-Three had on me. On that day, two events changed my attitude about my game. First, after a group discussion the majority of us agreed to move up a set of tees for the final 18 holes of what would be a 54-hole day. Once we set up at the white markers I bagged the big lumber, withdrew my 3-wood, and enjoyed one of the best ball-striking days I’d had in years. Naturally, during the ride home, I pondered both the relevance of the driver and the importance of hitting from “the tips” of the golf course. I turned to long time DePauw University golf coach, Vince Lazar, hoping he would be able to offer some sort of definitive answer to the questions which gnawed at me. He didn’t disappoint.
