1. A bad read cannot be overcome with a good putt. Only a bad putt can overcome a bad read.
2. Most golfers think they are a good putter having a bad day. How many times do you hear someone say, “I can’t make anything today!”? The fact is they couldn’t make anything yesterday or the day before or last year.
3. When a good shot occurs for us we think it is well deserved good fortune.
When it occurs for our opponent we think it is blind dumb luck.
4. Giving golf lessons all day must be the equivalent of a psychiatrist’s listening to people’s problems all day.
5. I have never understood, on the first tee, the hypocrisy of wishing your opponent good luck.
6. I don’t understand how someone can derive pleasure from winning with strokes from his handicap. If Carl Lewis gives you enough head start you can beat him in the 100 meter dash. What does that prove?
7. Other golfers truly care that you four-putted the third green. They are glad you did.
8. Making excuses for the way you are playing doesn’t make anyone think you are a better golfer.
9. When does your true personality come out - after a triple bogey or after a birdie?
