Karen is teeing up on a par 4 and is not feeling confident at all, so she gets out one of her old balls. As she is teeing up, she hears a voice, “Karen,” it says, “use the good ball.” Karen looks around, thinks for a minute, then decides to go with her inner voice. As she’s getting her stance ready to tee off, she hears the voice, “Karen, wait,” it says, “take a practice swing.” She takes a couple of practice swings and steps forward to tee off. She waits for a few seconds, then again she hears the voice, “Karen, use the old ball.”
