He also presented some of the wisdom acquired over a lifetime of playing golf -- he started in competitive golf at age eight -- with the boys.
On practice: "Remember what is not on a range: uneven lies, rough, OB, water, three-putting after a loose shot, pressure."
On play: "You might build muscle memory on the range, but you learn to play by playing. Get on the course!"
On experience: "Playing outside your comfort level narrows your focus and the related experience improves your comfort."
On frustration: "Let it bother your opponent more than it bothers you."
On friendship: "When I began entering senior tournaments at fifty, I found myself paired with fellows I had played against in high school. Golf courses are great places to make friends for life."
On beauty: "Hitting beautiful shots is a treasure, but there is only space on the scorecard for 'how many,' not 'how.'"
