Mid-Air Confidence Most of us tend to root for each other. “Nice shot,” or “Stretch!” or “Hang on!” and similar encouraging remarks are usually received welcomingly from the golfer striking the shot. Sometimes, though, you’ll hear a version of “Don’t talk to my ball,” and even the stern reinforcement, “Seriously, don’t talk to my ball.” *Once upon a time on a golf course far, far away, a man flushed an iron shot. His playing companion urged this approach to “Be the right distance!” The reply was quick: “Don’t worry, it is.” No one was worried, pal, but karma is a you- know-what. The ball airmailed the green into the deep stuff. When you can’t even accept encouragement properly, that’s jackassery of a high order.
