Rohnert Park, CA. ~ Most great rounds of golf played can’t be attributed entirely to pure luck, let’s be real. Pre- game preparation should never be underestimated. Behind every exceptional round of golf played lies a bona-fide master-plan, a blueprint, a road-map to perfection. Whether it be religious proper condi- diet and

sleep or profoundly cre- ative ways of bringing the correct supplements into one’s body or all of the above; surely we can rec- ognize how each piece of the puzzle can be seen like spokes on a wheel. Every- thing in golf is about the circle; the ball, the cup, the course and the swing. So to arrive where every- thing comes full circle is to be
