Three things can happen when you pass and two of 'em are bad.

I do not let a bad score ruin my enjoyment for golf.

I try not to play two days in succession. I usually try to space it so I have a day in between.

Bad things happen when you try to let things just happen. You can't be passive.

Punt returns will kill you quicker than a minnow can swim a dipper.

You never lose a game if the opponent doesn't score.
