"Sam don't know a damn thing about hitting a golf ball".....oh yeah, who says? What gives this guyrepparttar right to say such a thing about a fellow golfer? If he is so smart wouldn't he say "Sam doesn't know anything about hitting a golf ball?" This guy can't be very bright and he is certainly no gentleman.

What about Sam? Does he know anything about hitting a golf ball? If this guy says he doesn't and he is right.....shouldn't we assume that he is propably not very good at it? Makes perfect sense to me!

Real estate millionaires know a lot about real estate. Stock market millionaires are experts onrepparttar 133275 stock market. Chess masters have an awesome inventory of chess moves. Experts in general know a ton about their field. So if one doesn't know a damn thing about what he is doing, he can't do it very well.

Should we agree then thatrepparttar 133276 more we know about a subjectrepparttar 133277 better we will do? The kid in class who looks like Bill Gates, and studies a lot - gets A's this applies to school, and investments, and generally everything? Everything? Sure everything!

Let's apply this brilliant radical information to golf. The more we know about "IT"repparttar 133278 better we should do. After all, nearly every waking moment is spent thinking. How should I do my job. How do I get to work. How do I pay my bills. What is 3+3.....heady stuff like that....

If "Sam don't know a damn thing about hitting a golf ball" . . . . that's got to be his problem. Some know-it-all said he doesn't. He has to be a lousy golfer. No information = failure. Did you ever take a test where you didn't know anything aboutrepparttar 133279 subject matter? Let's see your report card, Einstein.
