Hole 13
Azinger: What's the distance.
Caddie: I am sorry boss. It's 17 yards
It just so happens that Paul Azinger's caddie, Ted Scott, is now my student. Since we both have a vested interest in this situation -- 17 yards = no job = no lessons! -- I'll ask him what Paul is doing to solve the problem.

LOL thats interesting. I've just spent 20 minutes trying to find the story in SGB, but no success. I then called a buddy that I thought might have told me the story, but it was obvious he'd never heard it. I am not sure it the distance was 17 yards or another distance. Thinking of it again it might have been a bit longer - such as 30 or 45 yards.
The conclusion from the story was obviously that Azinger thought his high-percentage shots were either closer to or farther from the green and that he did not want to mess with certain distance intervals - at all.
