I think about what I did wrong and how I can do better next time.

I talk to them and ask them what’s wrong and tell them that it’s the past and to move on.

First Tee has taught me good manners, positive habits and how to behave on the golf course. Thank you to all my First Tee Coaches – special shout out to Coach Frank.
