From Kathryn:
“I was just reading your story about getting angry when hitting a bad shot, and it reminded me of one of my own stories.
“I was playing a round of golf with my cousin’s wife and daughter. Their daughter was on her high school team, and she was learning to play competitive golf. She was not hitting her tee shots very well, and on the fourth tee she mishit her tee shot, and it only went about 50 yards. She became frustrated and exclaimed, ‘How much longer am I going to hit these bad shots?’ Without thinking, I responded, ‘Every so often for the rest of your life.’ Her mother gave me a quizzical look, and then started laughing. I then explained that she will always mishit some shots; it was just a matter of how often. The more she practiced and played, the less often she would hit bad shots.”
Great advice for all of us!! Thanks, Kathryn!
