Every course, hole and shot in golf is different.
But sometimes, it is history that repeats itself – or at least, rhymes.

As much of the country braces for freezing cold temperatures across the Midwest and Eastern seaboard, the Bruins may heat up in their second tournament of the year.
First place not only heralds bragging rights, but it also signals that a team boasts consistency rather than just individual talent.
But with that attention comes the challenge of building on winning performances – and the Bruins struggled after besting the field at the Fighting Irish Classic earlier this month.
Having a short-term memory on the golf course is typically recommended for players to avoid becoming frustrated by setbacks during a round.
But keeping past successes in the back of one’s mind can help a player overcome adversity and push a team to achieve even further success.
