This score can predict the nature of your cognition and its impact on finances, relationships, health, mental wellness, success, performance, leadership, etc.

But in 2006, Tiger dominated the British Open by teeing off with four and five irons, and aiming his shots to particular edges of the fairways, not always the middle.
