“Golf tips are like aspirin: One may do you good, but if you swallow the whole bottle you’ll be lucky to survive.” — Harvey Pennick, golf pro and instructor

The “comeback” is a term associated with the world of sports. We have all had opportunities to watch teams or players return from the abyss of a loss and have the ability to overcome a situation. If you say “28-3” to a football fan from New England, or Atlanta, they immediately recall the Patriots winning the Super Bowl after being down by the aforementioned score.
