consists few life matters minor
Life consists of a lot of minor annoyances and a few matters of real consequence.
sports play competition
I don't care how good you play, you can find somebody who can beat you, and I don't care how bad you play, you can find somebody you can beat.
sports teacher teaching
I learn teaching from teachers. I learn golf from golfers. I learn winning from coaches.
real golf matter
Life is full of many minor annoyances, and few matters of real consequence.
fun golf games
Go out and have fun. Golf is a game for everyone, not just for the talented few.
mistake play one-day
If you play poorly one day, forget it. If you play poorly the next time out, review your fundamentals of grip, stance, aim and ball position. Most mistakes are made before the club is swung. If you play poorly for a third time in a row, go see your professional.
needs shots golfers
A golfer rarely needs to hit a spectacular shot until the one that preceded it was pretty bad.
mistake looks look-up
Looking up is the biggest alibi ever invented to explain a terrible shot. By the time you look up, you've already made the mistake.
basketball moving golf
I compare the pressure of a golf shot with making an extra point in basketball. The player starts from a full stop, and that rim doesn't move.
