Inspiration

“Everyone’s gone through ups and downs in golf. When you’re in those low points, there’s times when you wonder like: Am I ever going to be back in that position? Obviously you believe that you can, but there’s those thoughts. Golf is obviously one of the most humbling sports there is and you can never take it for granted.”

– Rickie Fowler

“If it is a bad shot, I get frustrated with myself for a few seconds, a few steps.. and then forget about it, go find the golf ball and go into the next one with a positive attitude./ take your time, don’t rush and just visualize a great shot on the next one and just commit to it. That’s all you can do. You can’t compound the negativity. You’ve got to try and be positive.”

– Lexi Thompson

“Grit? What is it? I believe it’s driven by love. Inspired by vision and purpose. Fuelled by optimism and belief. Powered by faith and hope. Revived by resilience. Kept alive by stubbornness. And if we’re honest includes some fear of failure and desire to prove oneself”

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“I can’t change the directions of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

– Jimmy Dean

“Golf is a compromise between what your ego wants you to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.”

– Bruce Crampton

• “All kids need is a little help, a little hope and someone who believes in them.”

– Magic Johnson

“To build a strong team you must see someone else’s strength as a complement to your weakness not a threat to your position or authority.”

– Christine Caine

“Competitive sports are about testing your limits, overcoming fear, improving yourself, and helping others do the same.”

– Sports Psychology

“Ignorance is the absence of knowledge. Stupidity is the presence of knowledge and the refusal to use it.”

– Paulo Coelho

“There’s always stuff to learn. There’s stuff I didn’t hear until I was 40 that I wish I had hear when I was 20. There’s stuff I hear now that I’ve never heard before.”

– Gregg Maddux
