The RBC Canadian Open

Hey, this blip doesn't have anything to do with golf.  Neither does the extra. It is wide-wednesday, yes??  I'll try and explain.  In golf there are at least 3 major types of shots.  The Drive, ... the Chip, ...and the putt.  
This is my theory for what it's worth:  
--the Drive is straightforward, hit the ball as hard as you can and try to stay on target.  I compare this to a telephoto zoom lens, a favourite of many and not very difficult to understand.  
--the putt seems easy  like a  medium focal length, stay on the green or keep everyone in the scene. (rhyming not intended)
-- now the challenge in golf, for me and many others is the chip shot.  It's only  a short distance from the green but somehow that ball can just go anywhere, .. in someone's lap or a bunker or in the drink.   This is my wide-angle shot.  It is the most difficult to understand and perfect.  
I guess I won't be able to practice at the RBC open as they don't approve of cameras  during a match.
