In your ideal round of golf, with every calculated swing you make, you're scoring birdies or better. In reality, your shots might be shanks, and the word "fore" may make an appearance more than once. The truth is your game could maybe use a little work, preferably in an environment where you don't need to fish golf balls out of a body of water.
