It's frustrating not being able to win golf tournaments, not really being there in contention very often... but I know how close it feels and I know I just need a couple of shots here and there and it turns the tide, people don't really realize how close it is between a person who is winning( a tournament) and a person missing the cut.

It's ok to fail. Failing does not shape your personality; it's how you react upon your failure. Do you dust yourself off and mope or do you dust yourself off and come back stronger the next time? Eventually you will win. It may not happen the next time, it may take a little time but you will win in the end.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.
