Sometimes when you are out on the links and you shank  a drive into the rough you might drive through a couple of times in the hopes of spotting your dimpled friend.  However their does come a time when you just have to let your ball go.  That is especially true if you risk having to pay to replace the golf cart they so easily rented to you when you were sober only a short time ago.  Actually walking to the train last night in the city was similar to walking in a dirty litter filled river.
