”Focus not on the commotion around you, but on the opportunity ahead of you.” -- Arnold Palmer
Most people live their lives chained to the oars of a life of their own choosing, whether defined by one’s job, relationships, self-image or even their golf game. More often than not, the biggest obstacles one faces in life are those that we ourselves have placed in our own path. In the words of golf’s great champions, there is undeniable wisdom, focus, passion and depth of purpose that goes well beyond the confines of the golf course. "Golf Wisdom of the Legends" celebrates these universal truths and messages of empowerment that will appeal to golfers and non-golfers alike.
“I think that to score in golf is a matter of confidence, if you think you cannot do it, then there is no chance that you will.” -- Sir Henry Cotton, Open Champion 1934, 1937, 1948, Ryder Cup Captain 1947 and 1953.
“Don’t hurry, don’t worry. You are only here for a short visit, so don’t forget to stop and smell the roses.” --Walter Hagen, U.S. Open Champion 1914, 1919, Open Champion 1922, 1924, 1928, 1929, PGA Champion, 1921, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927.
“Golf reflects the cycle of life. No matter what you shoot, the next day you have to go back to the first tee and begin all over again and make yourself into something.” -- Peter Jacobsen, U.S. Senior Open Champion 2004, Senior Players Champion 2005.
