In the hours that follow that and other rounds are played over and over again and there is just as much fun, just as much pleasure in the post-mortem as there iv in the physical play of the mateh. One ean look back and recall every shot and figure ou) how he lost; that's the post-mortem in golf. In tennis, a player has either won or lost.
