Their enjoyment of golf along with their optimism, enthusiasm and spirit, has reached a plateau. For the game to continue to grow, golfers must be able to maintain the sincere belief that they have the potential to improve. On the Eleventh Day of Christmas, I wish golfers could understand that permanent improvement begins with a transformation in perspective. Raise the standard of your perceptions of things in general and watch your golf scores plummet. It is your unique perspective of those events and your perception of how to respond that drives behavior.
Success equals progress over an extended period of time.
On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, I wish golfers would give something back to the Game. Open the gates and provide unlimited opportunities for kids to be exposed to golf. The dark side of the game is that for far too many people, golf remains an elitist activity. The vast majority of young people never have been properly introduced to golf in a quality setting. We owe it to them and to the game to provide it.
