I just heard an amazing story from a caddie at Bandon. It was only his 3rd hole, but an older guy told this caddie to keep the clubs in the bag. “I’m enjoying this walk too much. I don’t want my golf to spoil it.” He didn’t play another shot and just walked with a smile.

So many people think their handicap is what they shoot on average. But that’s not true. It’s your 8 best scores average of the last 20. In other words it should be hard to shoot your handicap. So a 6, when playing well, should shoot close to a 78 with an average of low 80’s.

For anyone who’s ever said “we should have more Waste Management holes in golf”, here’s my take: The reason why so many ppl love it is because it’s a once a year thing. Same goes for Ryder Cups (every 2 years), Masters, etc. Too much of a good thing ain’t always a good thing 🤝

The worst possible result after a round of golf is not your score. Or the number of 3 putts or lost balls. It's the thought "I wish I enjoyed it more." Your only job during your round is to not feel this way at the end of the day.
