Being able to let go, at times, is the most beautiful of all! Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in hitting a bad shot and then insisting it’s no big deal. No, you just messed up, so react. I’m not saying you need to throw your club. I mean, take 10 seconds to get angry at yourself, but then start over Picture Quote #1
