| Enlightening!!!!!! - Thought I would share this.
I just checked this out from the golfchannel website & this really stuck out to me. Please give your thoughts if this happens to you from time to time.
JACOBSEN ON HIMSELF
“I don’t take my golf home with me. If I shoot an 83 or a 63, I get done, I enjoy it or I kick my bag or whatever with the 83, but when I’m done I pretty much leave it there. One thing that’s important to know and this is how I believe, what I shoot is my score. What I shoot isn’t me. And unfortunately somebody said a lot of guys don’t look like they enjoy their golf. I think too many guys identify with their score. They shoot a 63 they’re awesome, they’re a great guy; they shoot an 80, they’re a bum. That isn’t true.”
Or at least it shouldn’t be. You have to be yourself. And personalities like Peter Jacobsen just don’t fall out of trees. But younger players can and should learn from him in these times.
Jacobsen is a human being who happens to be a very good golfer, not just a very good golfer who happens to be a human being when it is convenient for him to be one. |
