I just spent the last 3 days working with Jr. players and one of the areas we talked about was how GOLF is known as a "Gentlemen's Game". Honor, Integrity and Good Sportsmanship! Golf doesn't have any referres. Most of the time, we call ourselves on our own mistakes and Brian Davis set the example of the true meaning of how the game is suppose to be played! I encourage you to share this article with your child. We have so many different groups in sports these days that have a different belief system. Those who are VERY competitive.....winning is what counts and then there is the groups who say "Everyone" is a WINNER....there is no such thing as a LOSING team. Let's embrace being proud of our performance and learn the art of being tactful. Alot is said about a person who knows how to handle disappointment with grace & dignity. Thanks Brian Davis for a great example!
