Speech Transcript (very little editing so not exact)

Time to shine today podcast varsity squad. This is Scott Ferguson and we’re episode 283 With my really good friend LPGA golf instructor, Dr. Greta Anderson, she’s actually kind of a home girl from the Detroit area. They’re in Michigan where I used to reside and she is just a fantastic interview, you guys are gonna love her metaphors that she used for golf and for life and how she you can level up both your golf game and your life game, just with the knowledge nuggets that she’s gonna drop in this interview. So I’m just gonna kind of shut up and get right into this interview and sit back, relax, break out your notebooks, because here comes my really good friend, Dr. Greta Anderson. Let’s level up. Time to shine in a podcast versus Swat, Scott Ferguson and I got a little slice of home here who actually realized maybe just like I did a good friend here Dr. Greta Anderson. She headed south just like I do. But we have roots in the mitten in Detroit area. And it was fun, our little pre conversation that we talked about the old home and how we don’t miss the cold, and how the changes have happened and also a golf course. So we played probably ran across each other there back in the day. But my good friend Dr. Greta Anderson, is an LPGA Class A golf professional and founder of Dr. Credit golf and instructional practice based in Atlanta, Georgia. She’s a serial entrepreneur, entrepreneur, and Dr. Brenner has been successful in building several businesses from startup to successful acquisition. At the heart, though she’s an educator with more than 25 years of experience in educational research. Dr. Gregg, his mission is to use our knowledge of human learning and golf instruction to help as many people of every identity as possible transition from the sidelines to the fairways of golf courses all around the world. Dr. Ender, thank you so much for coming on. Please introduce yourself the time to shine today PAC as far as the squad, but first, what’s your favorite color? And why?

My favorite color is green,

green, if anything to do that grass that you’re always, you know,

I love I just love the freshness of green. It’s just the color of hope, in many ways, is also the fusing of my two other favorite colors, maize and blue.

Oh, no, don’t even tell me. I’m a sporty, so

best offerings as parties.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having me

carving this time here. So let’s get into the kind of the nuts and bolts of where you started. And how you kind of came into the loving the game of golf and using that to help people level up?

Sure. So I came into the golf game of golf quite casually. As a kid, I really played a lot of 10. And I played a ton of tennis as a kid, right? But when you think about it, this the swing swings are about a plane, right. And we won’t get technical here. But I really kind of fell in love. I love to swing things, I love to hit balls, I like to I like to make things fly. And so as long as the short is I’ve enjoyed golf as a kid, I would have enjoyed golf more as a kid if there had been more community for little girls, especially little girls that look like me. And so really fast forward all these decades. That’s really one of the reasons reasons one of the things that I’m really passionate about is that maybe a little guy or a little girl doesn’t choose golf, but I don’t want her choice to have not choosing golf to be because the community wasn’t welcoming or that type of thing.

The color of your skin. It’s cool. Yeah.

And that’s kind of what it was. It was just it wasn’t as welcoming. And, you know, it was fun. But you know, as a kid, you want things to be fun. You want to feel like Hey, I belong here. And it wasn’t quite that and so I already had community with tennis that you know, it was kind of Rainbow Coalition. Loved it. And that’s kind of where I went. I love

it. And so you got your PhD and you said it’s psychometrics. Correct,

right. Yeah. So I really focused on adult learning and how we learn. And so, you know, one of the big things there to understand in terms of how it translates into golf, if you will, is that there are two parts of learning. For adults in particular one is kind of what we call integration, academic integration, whatever that is, maybe it’s statistics, maybe it’s golf, right the skills, but then the other part of engagement is social integration. Think about this. You may have been at a college and been a rock star student but you hated it. You didn’t like the campus you didn’t like, you know the student body you didn’t vibe. So you could have made the is less, but you hated it there. It wasn’t a fit. So you moved on, maybe you transferred, maybe you dropped out, stop that whatever the case may be. The same thing applies in all other areas, particularly golf. People can strike a ball and do great things. But if you don’t if community, they don’t find community, they won’t play.

Wow. Community is key. Community is key. Yeah. So what is your thoughts on maybe building up that broader base to help bring the community together through the game of golf?

Sure. Golf has is so many so much mythology and you know, pretentiousness, let’s just be candid around it. And many, for many reasons, a lot of people are not interested in attempting to break through a barrier, because it looks like a barrier. Office and, you know, golf is resource intensive, right, you know, it’s not the most inexpensive activity. So that alone, kind of, you know, prevents some people from getting into it. But even for many where that might not be the barrier, a lot of times golf just looks like a hassle. You know, I mean, every American does, sometimes I go to work, you know, and, you know, if I’m at, you know, the back of the facility, and I look at the range, and it may be 100 people there, right? And I’m the only woman and I’m the only person of color, and I’m going like no, we can do better than this. Yes, we can. Absolutely better than this. So, you know, when we just like a lot of things when we see it, we know we can be sure. So, you know, I’m just trying to be that thing that people see a little bit more and know that you know, you don’t you don’t have to be perfect, you know, Done is better than perfect. You start right now, like, you know, there’s also this thing like, Oh, if you didn’t start playing golf, when you were like, in the womb, that you never gonna be good golfer dammit, tiger, right? Exactly. Like this kind of one or two savant walking around like that. Right? Right. No, I play golf very casually. I mean, like, it wasn’t like I was going out and practicing three times a week or anything like that. So but I just decided in my 30s, that I was going to become a professional.

Wow, in your 30s. That’s amazing. Good for you. Well, you’re always athletic. If you’re watching on YouTube, or Vimeo squad, I mean, she’s not only beautiful woman, she’s very well put together, set up athletic. And we really appreciate that here at time to shine today. So what life lessons then are you finding in the game of golf?

Golf is a metaphor for life in so many ways, the big one that I always say, like you can choose, so let’s just use we’ll just use a hole right? You can hit the perfect tee shot, right? And so you’ve set up for success. And you can take that casually, you can take that for granted and go out there in that second shot. Right? We all know we’ve all been there, done it right slice hook. Duff it, you name. Right. Okay. And so now I’m not in his greater position as I as I was a few moments ago. And let’s just say the whole end up being a cluster bomb, right? I just right, I can choose, I have some choices to make, I can choose to let that whole influence the next whole, the remainder, the front nine, the whole round. Or I can say you know what? You know, it happens, right? Right. Right, and move on. Just like in life, you can let your circumstances inform decades of your life. Or you can take some valuable lessons from those and keep moving forward. The choice is ours. I

love that in with my even with my clients that I that I coach, and I’m blessed to actually coach our PGA professional, you know, it’s like I tell him that, you know, it’s what’s happened to you is not what’s happening. And that is the game of golf. Because I mean, you can get I love your analogy, if you can strike one off the tee, right? And you’re getting it out there to 60 to 70. And you’re set up perfectly. That’s like having a family that’s raised you well. Instead, bam, you gave all the opportunities, and then you go out on your own and you’ve done it. exploits, there’s always the rebound or the comeback shot, right? I mean that you can make it so and there’s also about golf is that you? Like you can have just the crappiest round but you hit that one shot that keeps coming back. Let’s say what’s your mentality about being consistent with improving your game?

Consistency excellent, is determined by you. Right? excellence of effort. You know, my junior but you know a high performance juniors they probably get sick of me saying that excellence of effort. That’s what that’s all I’m asking for you because you’re not going to pursue the pursuit of perfection we know is a never ending thing right? That that’s just not human existence we’re in pursuit of excellence, or perfection, but excellence of effort is what we’re striving for. And if we constantly march toward that your results will Yeah, you know, rise, but without excellence of effort, then let’s not even talk about

right? That the so well put, because I mean, that’s my exact when I get asked on podcast, that’s my exact definition of success, you know is that you’re striving for perfection, but on your way to perfection, you’re gonna get greatness with what you said excellent about excellence of effort. I love that. I love it. So do you, coach or teach people one on one or in groups? Both? Okay, so what is some of your secret sauce, then, if you don’t mind sharing doc that maybe helped them find their blind spots? Whether it’s about life or the game of golf?

The big one is that it is we’re using the game of golf, and in many ways, it does translate to life. Sure, you belong here. Yes, belong here. Love it. And, you know, sometimes I’ve you know, I’ve watched people and I’ve been doing this for a while. And people are always surprised when I begin my start my beginners class, you know, with an overt welcome. And welcome them to golf. Okay, I’m welcoming, because for so many people, they’re feeling particularly ladies lay women of color. They’re feeling like they’re here, but I’m not really sure I should be here. You know, I’m watching them walk in the facility. I see them in the parking lot. And they’re kind of like, you know, should I be here? Even though these are high performing women, C suite women, you know, you name that

name, the credential? Absolutely, yeah.

But when it comes to golf, golf comes with these vestiges of you know, of history, we know that. And so that’s number one. Number two, I encourage them to understand the process like, you know, if you want golf, the way is talked about is that you need basically sound like you need a PhD in physics to become a good golfer, correct? Right. Right. Look, I help them understand, like, we’re going to decode this, I’m going to explain some things to you. And within 17 to 20 minutes, the ball is going to get in there,

right? I love that you break it down inch by inch, it’s a cinch by the yard. It’s hard. Everyone wants to go out there and swing like Happy Gilmore. So really, it’s broken down. But it’s not that complicated, either. Like you said, it’s just like life, it’s about a plane, you stay on that plane, you’re going to have success. So I love love, love, love that you said that. So when you’re starting to work with somebody, is there any good question that you wish they would ask you, but never do?

You know, oftentimes, by the time someone is on my lesson team, we may have had some conversations, because I really do welcome people to I want them to fall in love with golf during their time with me that you know, in my mind, that’s the singular mission. So I welcome you know, whether that’s via text or email or whatever the case may be, whatever the questions they have, but oftentimes, those those questions are, whether the client may recognize it or not there to there kind of solving some wounds. A lot of people have come and they’ve had some less than ideal golf experiences, or they’re very fearful whether or not they’re, you know, kind of terming it as fearful. They’re apprehensive, that’s for sure. And so it’s my job to allay those fears. Like yes, you’re to become a good golfer, which you can do, there’s going to be a little bit of work involved. The key to take away their fear is that to help them that I am a good sage, I’m the guy I’m the person you know, with the sticks. You know, we’re walking up the mountain I know the route I’ve done the route Yes, right. To play twice, right? bad injury and so I had to learn how to play on the other side of the golf ball. So I just started over

really? I didn’t know that you were riding before Yeah, I

play golf right handed until I was 30 something

Wow. Wow, that’s that’s that’s just amazing. Yeah, like Phil Mickelson stuff right there. It’s a natural writing I love

is a painful exercise I mean, you know physically but also you know ego wise and everything it’s hard to go from shooting good numbers to like I remember my first round is a left hander. Right my 41

Sort of like my round a PGA

going like oh my goodness, however, I worked I learned you know, I had to let that go. The past was gone. Right. We talked about what the you know, the are in the beginning had to let that go sit it on the shelf. Yeah, and start again.

Wow. Sorry, I’m writing some of the stuff Mirror. So, you have some strengths. What do you think your biggest strength is? And how much do you think that you appreciate that strength?

You know, with, with, with age comes wisdom, hopefully, and I work hard to try to, you know, become a wiser person, one of my great strengths, and it’s really not by accident, you know, which is a good thing, how everything just comes together. I’m a really good question asker I’m an interviewer. I’m a researcher. I’m a social scientist. I spent years learning how to listen, to ask questions and to craft questions. And I’m not afraid to ask questions. I ask a lot of questions. You probably get sick of me asking questions, but that’s how I help. I’m most efficient in helping someone get to the solution for what you’re looking for.

Love that love. The questions is everything everything should be my mentor taught me. You know, everything real, everything you do is a question. If you’re driving down the street and you want to make a left some fires into your brain that says put on your blinker. Put on the blinker, right. So the more powerful you ask the questions of yourself, the more that you can attain it. Do you are you in agreement with that? Absolutely. Okay, that’s very good. How about your questions about your weaknesses? What weaknesses Do you feel you have?

That I I liked? I liked. I like things to be pretty dark. Almost a perfect, but I’ve been I’ve been guilty of paralysis by analysis a couple of times. Sure. Me too, but I’m working on it. And you know it because I recognize that I’ve really adopted the mantra Done is better than perfect. Absolutely. You know, I know, hey, sometimes it’s not going to be pretty sure. But I can always go and improve.

Doc, do you? Do you like to win? Or do you hate? Do you hate losing more than you like winning? Just curious because you

I used to boy, yeah, I could I could give you name people the stories that people will tell you about how much I hate hate losing our, but it’s so interesting that you asked that because in recent years, I’m much less competitive as Greta, I think that all of that has transferred into my students. Right? Like, I am like, I am a nervous wreck when I know like, you know, my students are playing in the Club Championship or the midam. Or, you know, whatever. I mean, I am like, like this like with the phone like, oh my gosh, oh, you know, a waiting and so it’s passion. I love that my passion because I’m I can be an intense person. into into I don’t have to. Well, then. So I’ve transferred that so yeah, but I hate the oh, there’s some storage. Well, yeah,

I hate to be to the i rustled my whole life growing up and is like, I would hate losing more than I liked winning. And that actually changed as soon as someone told me, you know, that dude in the mirror every day, you know, be better than him yesterday. And then it’s something just I know, it went into the subconscious. I’m like you I’m really into dig it in, in program. So thank you for sharing that. So have you seen the movie Back to the Future? Yes. Okay. Let’s get in that DeLorean with Marty. All right, well, back to the double Deuce the 22 year old doctor do you want to document that? 22 year old Greta? What knowledge nuggets? So we call him here attention? What kind of knowledge nuggets would you be dropping on her to help her shorten your learning curve? blast through and level up maybe just a little bit quick?

Don’t be so shy.

Oh, okay. I don’t see you being shy.

But well, I reserved that might be a better word. Okay. Now, I’ll just ask the question. Okay. 22 Greta would be like, well, you know, everyone here is a little bit older than me and more mature and more experience. And so maybe it’s not quite the time to ask, even though I know that’s the dumbest thing they could possibly ever do. But, and now I’d be like, Okay, let’s, let’s make perhaps we want to revisit that. I’m going to invite us off.

Yeah, right. It I love that you said that and you’re so transparent with it. Because it’s like I even like I mentor some high school students. I’m like, you know, I passed on to him what was passed on to me is that you know, get you’re asking here, ask ask asked everything and everything. So, Doc, how do you want your dash remember that little line in between your incarnation date your expiration date? Yes. Your lifetime death date? How do you want credit stashed? Remember?

I really want my dash to be about having moved learning forward. I mean, I believe that, you know, knowledge, you know, data data is just a pile of whatever. Transforming that transforming that into information is what’s power. Well, it’s what moves the needle, whether it’s golf or education or social justice, or whatever the case may be. Because when we know more, and we understand more, we can do better. It’s so much more power and working together than working against each other.

Absolutely. Absolutely. You just say like your trans muting that that the the what you’ve learned in the action, because like you said, like I’ve been I’ve been paralysis analysis, you know what I’m saying? So, I love that you said there. So, what keeps you up at night?

Oh, really? Trying to figure out how I can democratize golf education. No, that sounds?

I get it, man. Yes. Lessons, there’s failure. There’s, there’s everything that love it. So if you’re working with somebody that you know, has got it. Okay, you know that the Club Championship is within their reach. And they go into a quote unquote, slump? What do you do with them?

Sometimes, definitely, the first thing, we got to ask them questions, right, this conversation, I’m not gonna sit there and come out with a clipboard and ask questions. But I’m gonna begin probing as you know, as we like to call it, right? Because there’s a root cause of everything. Yes. And sometimes the root is something that, you know, it’s, it’s a convoluted path that they may not have recognized, sometimes it just may be too much pressure, you know, sometimes stepping away, can can bring us back to, to what can get us to that championship, or whatever the case may be. Sometimes it’s apprehension about a book or belief that I can do it like, I mean, it’s interesting I had at one of my students, that was she’d had this plan in the back of our mind. And we hadn’t been working together a super long time. But this plan was lofty. She was trying to dethrone someone who’d been a champion of a club here for like 13 years. I mean, this was like what she really wanted to do. And so as we began talking, she was like, here’s the deal that I really want, I really want to do that you’re not going to believe this. I want to win the championship. And I’m going like, Okay, well, we’ll win the championship. Right. Okay. You know, and so, but it was a process because we’re unpeeling layers, we’re watching and playing lessons we’re seeing, okay, this is what what’s kind of going on what’s where, you know, the Fisher happens. This is where you kind of come? Because we’ve all been there, right? Self Sabotage? Yes. Well, I’m trying to break at today. And then you get to 18. And you’re like, you know, you’re on call on course, to shoot, you know, maybe seven, eight, and all of a sudden, you’re jumping into the water 40 yards in front of right now we’ve all seen you go like, what, like, you can hit the shot in your sleep. Right? Right. The belief, you know, it’s like this perfect gumbo, right? A belief skill set? Yeah, all of these things have to have to be right there in the pot right on time, I can tell that’s kind of what I strive for.

I can see you actually also taking them back to the basics, when they’re in a slump to like you can be like, listen to, you know that this is the plane, you know, you have to stay on this, let’s just get back. I love that. And that try to reinvent something when they’re in a slump, right? I mean, a lot of people will try to reinvent, it’s time to do like a baseball swing or something like that, or a golf swing.

Well, and then also, people, you know, as I tell people all time, really most of us is golfers, we can really kind of only listen to one voice. Now your decision may be that I’m not that voice. Right? I won’t, you know, die. But I like to let people know that. Because there are tons of good pearls. And there’s some great pros, right? Sure. Sure. Well, we’re all saying some things a little bit differently. And some things will resonate with you better from one voice versus another. But you know, when people come in and happens to all pros, these days, people coming to listen to you, and they telling you about the five articles from Golf Digest, golf magazine, 27 YouTube videos they watched last night, and then they’re gonna tell you what they need in the lesson. And I’m thinking like, so I’m not quite sure why you invested in this lesson, but

I feel like keep it simple, too. So what is your definition of a life well lived.

A definition of a life will live as a life where I was helpful to people, my family, others and community I helped make someone’s life better as I told one of one of my students, a young lady, I said, I don’t care if you don’t play golf and other you know, another day another year, I said, but I do hope that some of these life lessons because some of my students they call them Dr. Greta isms, you know, they always have these ones. And I said, but I do ask, I don’t even care if you don’t remember my name. I said but I do hope somewhere down the road. You know, you go like, I remember that golf teacher. I had that tall lady. You know what she told me that I was gonna do great things, you know, and that is for life. I said That’s what I want. I got great. I want to have an impact be a difference maker. So many people haven’t made it make continue to make a difference. But I remember so vividly so many of the people that made just affirm imprint on my life and who spoke so many things into existence. Like there was a woman, Mrs. Thompson, who was very active at the church that I grew up in, and I was I might have been, I might have been five I was a little girl. I was

just gonna tell the story. Go ahead. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

You said, she said, What’s your name? And I said, you know, Greta, and she said, Well, hello, I’m Mrs. Thompson. And she said, Greta, I know one other Greta, and she is such a marvelous woman. She’s a doctor. And if you want to be a doctor, you’re gonna grow up and be one. I mean, like, she’s scripted, like, all these steps in my life when I was like four and a half years old, right? I had no idea. But that, like,

that’s that emotion that berries in the subconscious and you start going through the motions to make it happen. It’s funny that you said that because I we have small groups at a church I attended in Novi, Michigan, and oak point. And so it was like I had, you know, you have the team gathering, which is a huge, it was like 200 teams that would go on Wednesday. 707. And then we have small group breakouts. And it’s funny, those guys I had for four years from 2007 to 2010. Right. And those guys, I’m still super close. I got them as freshmen to seniors, and I’m still super close with them. And they’re like, Fergie, life’s punched me in the mouth. Right? You know, let’s work on this. I’m like, alright, that’s cool. It’s just knowing that the more you mentor the more immortal you become. Right? So it’s like, that’s amazing. Awesome. Hey, time to shine today podcast. Firstly, squad we are back with my awesome sauce friend, Dr. Greta Anderson golf pro. And Doc, you have a leveling up lightning round you and I can literally probably will one day, talk an hour on each one of these questions. Okay. You have five seconds with no explanation. Okay. Are you ready to level up? Quickly? Let’s start. Let’s do it. What’s the best leveling up advice you’ve ever received? Go hard. Yes. Sure. One of your personal habits that contributes to success, flossing of it love it. Other than the good book. And you see me in I’m walking. I’m in my doldrums. You’re like Oh, four. He doesn’t look right. What book would you be handing me?

Oh, you took the one that I really truly,

I always

think and grow rich.

Napoleon Love it. Love it. Love it. What’s your most commonly used emoji when you text? Happy face? Yeah, I love I knew you’re gonna say that, too. All right. All right, doc, you can’t lie to me on this one box. If you could stay physically, physically, one age for the rest of your life. Keep all the knowledge of gainer Garner and continue to gather wisdom. What age physically would you stay for the restaurant? 45 All right, very good. Very good. Any nicknames growing up? Shorty? How tall are you? By the way? Thanks. One word same might relate to I love it. Love it. chess or checkers. Checkers. Alright, me too. Very charity in our organization like to give your time or money to girls golf. Beautiful. Last question. You can elaborate on this one. But what is the best decade of music? 60s 70s 80s or 90s 70s 70s? All right, I’m right there with your 70s and 80s. So

I’m a huge music. Like I love all things music. But, you know, part of that is probably because I’m you know, born in the early 70s. And, you know, I’m from Detroit.

Right? But may ask your age. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I’m 51 Okay, so you’re you’re older than me. She Okay. Got it. Gotta love it. Love it. Love it. So doc, how can we find you?

You can find me on all all the socials at Dr. Greta golf. And my website, Dr. Greta golf. You can find me there.

I love it. And let’s talk about the golf course Confidence Blueprint. Sure.

The golf course competence blueprint comes after years of of, of instruction and interviewing kind of going back to those asking questions. So lots of players golfers would get going, they’re striking the ball well, and you know, kind of wouldn’t talk to them. And I’m checking in on them. And even you know, we’re going along in the instructional series and that type of thing. I’m asking what’s going on in the course, even students that you know, that haven’t worked with me? Well, I’m not not really planning on the course that come to the range. I’m not confident. I don’t really know I don’t want to get out there and look like a fool. I don’t want to be embarrassed. I don’t know scoring. I don’t know where to stand. I don’t know when to talk not to talk all of these things. And I realized that and observed that really, most students are not learning these things in their golf instruction journey. Sure, they’re learning how to hit the ball, which is great. But they’re not learning how to play golf. So they’re losing out on the opportunity to use golf as a business skill and networking tool, and just have fun with it because of this uncertainty or fear, or whatever the case may be about getting on the course. And particularly for women, when they’re not confident about something is not happening.

Right. Right. Love it. So that’s, that’s embedded into the blueprint. And then of course, okay, got it? And how is that rolled out? Is it something that they get time with you? Or is it a blueprint where they have instructional videos? Or how’s that work?

It is, it is a series of 30 day accelerator chock full of videos all with me, explaining showing things from the course, just presentations, the whole bit to help you become versed in all of the key elements so that you can play feel confident playing golf on any course in the world with players of any level. Like I know, that sounds like a big promise. The great secret is this, right? We know that to play with anyone, you don’t have to be good. I mean, everyone strives to be the best that they can be right? But you don’t have to be a great golfer to play with anyone. And we know we have a great system to handle. And that allows us to play with players of any level.

I love that I love it and you also do one to ones right one on ones. Okay. Yes, gotcha. And that would probably obviously take place in Georgia area.

Well, it does. It does take place in in in here in metro Atlanta, but also we’re in a digital world and so I’m what’s called a coach and we provide instruction regularly to people doesn’t matter where you live the beauty of technology now is that we’ve learned how to really help people through you know video swing analysis coaching because a lot of things you know, we may not necessarily need to be swinging the club but but even if we do it’s all available so yeah, I help people all over the world.

Love it real quick is your business majority women that you coach do you coach them

it’s up no I go on I coach a lot of minutes but it’s about it’s about 7030 Okay, very cool. Very good. I caught a lot of groups sure and more groups are women tend to do groups more than the

guys okay, very good. Very good. Love that love that in do me one last favorite Doctor data could you please leave us with one last Knowledge Nugget we can take with us and internalize and take action.

Sure well one thing I always like to say that remember this golf is perfect for you but you are perfect for golf.

Wow it’s both ways right? That’s right. I love it in squad we just got a free masterclass with my good friend Dr. Greta Anderson that you know she she talked a lot about the swing plane and how the swing plane can kind of move into kind of as a metaphor for life you know, and that she’s really about building a community that involves all races creeds ages, and she wants you to remember to you can see it you can be it so a lot of people will be able to say you know, I believe it when I see it, but if you can see it, then you’ll be able to believe it because you have it in your mind before she’ll remind us that Done is better than perfect. And again, you know Golf is a metaphor for life that you know the setup you can set yourself up for success and be consistent with it remember if you stripe that first shot, and you Duff the second one, there’s always a comeback. She wants you to remember that excellence is determined by your effort to always strive maybe for perfection knowing that it might not be attainable, but that you will reach greatness you know she wants you understand that you belong here you know understand the process especially with a game of golf inch by inch. It’s a cinch like I like to tell my clients by the yard it’s hard you’re not just going to walk out there be a Rory or tiger just be you beat that person in the mirror every single day. You know she wants to remember to set that past on a shelf. Okay, you know don’t live in the rearview mirror I like to say you know we the past is a great place to learn from but not a great place to live in certain parts of your past. So pull forward what you can learn and move forward. You know she wants you to not be so shy and reserved and like my good friend Leah Woodford told me a long time ago get your asking here. Ask questions. Get it out there. You know she’s going to be remembered as somebody she’s actually planting trees in the shade. She’ll never sit because of what she’s doing. She’s actually such a go giver. You know, she lastly will say you know, golf is perfect for you and you are perfect for golf. Golf is not above anybody no matter what our society says it’s fun. It’s a game of failure that you can win. It’s such a metaphor life that you can come back from and Dr. Greta you level up your house, you level up your wealth, you’ve earned your varsity squad letter here not that you need another Clayton athletics.
