Today I made a variety of arrogant statements on the way to the golf course. Which led my golf partners to believe that I was any good at golf. Then I teed off on the first hole and hit the ball ten yards into a tree. Then ten yards into another tree. Then it was completely off the first fairway all together and onto another hole. My golf partners were stunned. "If you confuse my arrogance for skill," I said, "then you will win."
