Some days you walk up to the firrst tee and hit a fault- less drive right down the middle. Other days its a case of slice, pull, slice, all the way round.

Driving à car is like playing golf. Some days you never make a bad change-other days its a question of clash! crash! curse! every time you change down,

So it is with gear changing
