If I only had that new set of golf clubs, my game would be more enjoyable.

The key to excellence is practice, repetition, learning from mistakes.   Basic tools are all we need to practice.  Continuous Improvement is the path to excellence. 

At the highest levels, the best equipment can give a slight advantage.   And we will know it if we are at the highest level.   And most of us aren’t.  

Better to focus our energy on doing better with what we have.
