The Art of Winning --- essay by ladies golf coach

Postby ideal » Wed Sep 24, 2014 3:18 pm

SMU golf coach Jeanne Sutherland, gives us all a lesson in the meaning of competition, football flavored, from a natural teacher.

We also learned the importance of simply giving ourselves a chance. We did that in a number of ways. We got our shots and putts to the hole and played more aggressively than we have this fall. We focused on what we wanted instead of what we didn't want. We hung around in each match despite getting down early and plugged away until we could turn the tide. All of these things are also important teaching points to championship golf, but so much easier to see in match play. Giving yourself a chance also means that you don't beat yourself. There is no shame in getting beaten by a good opponent who plays a great game. There is, however, no sense in beating yourself in match play through a bad attitude, a thought pattern that isn't focused on the shot at hand or failing to believe you are up to the task. That might be the most important thing that match play teaches you.


Some things to think about going forward?

That might be the most important fact in life. The devil plants the seed of doubt... do not give it light or water... Never doubt what you can do.
Run the race to win and have no regrets.

If you get shot down by a better player.. learn form it and get better.

Each person gets to plot the path of his/her race.

Do your best and no angel could do better.

Thanks Coach
