Patience is a very important part of scoring well in golf. Read on to learn more.
Jack Nicklaus & patience
Jack Nicklaus said that his coach Jack Grout was "the most fortunate thing that ever happened to me in golf, (as) he would not under any circumstances, allow me to get really down on myself."
It certainly seemed that a few players could have done with more patience at Turnberry last week.
Bamboo
If you ever need to develop more patience, this story will help.
There is a type of bamboo that is only about 6 inches tall even after five years of watering & fertilizing. Then, in about six weeks, it grows over two feet a day to 90 feet.
So, did the bamboo grow 90 feet in six weeks or did it grow 90 feet in five years?
Obviously it grew 90 feet in five years, as it was developing huge roots to support its amazing growth.
Perhaps you are developing your root system? Can you see where you must continue to water* yourself? (*should be easy enough in the current Scottish weather!)
Lucas Glover & patience
Glover credits his US Open success to a more patient approach. When he was asked if he had always been a patient player he replied:
"Absolutely not. But I've had to learn that in the last few years. My attitude's better. If something bad happens, let it go."
