Then there's attitude, he claims. As you age, you become aware of the bad things that can happen and they tend to rear their ugly heads more often. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Take Seve Ballesteros, for example whose game descended into a sort of golfing hell.
"When I was young, no matter where I hit the ball, I always had a shot to the green," says the Spanish maestro. "Now when I go off line, I am always dead."
Miller claims only kids are immune to the 5-to-1 theory. They play with an optimism that overcomes luck, with 'no scar tissue from past experiences.'
So where's all this going? Well maybe your bad luck is about to change.
The chance to win one of TEN of the latest
Kakadu kangaroo skin golf gloves is up for grabs.
This new product from Australia performs particularly well in the wet, creating an extra adhesion on the club handle to avoid dropped shots slipping through your fingers, so to speak.
Other features of the glove (£14.99 each) include, cross grain construction to reduce tearing, thinner leather for more feel yet more durability and the ability to wash them in cold water and hang to dry.
For a chance to win all we need is your golfing hard luck stories (maximum 50 words) on the special thread on the forum. We expect a few tears but request honest responses. Closing date is February 14 (Valentine's Day) just because it's easy to remember.
