What comes up is the conversation afterwards, the argument over whether the eagle putt on twelve actually broke left or right, the friend who insists a lost ball on the fourteenth cost him par when everyone else at the table remembers a bogey. The round on the course is only half the event. The other half happens sitting down, drink in hand, and it is the half that decides whether anyone actually wants to play with you again.</p>
