“From the beginning it was drilled into me that a golf course was a place where character fully reveals itself -- both its strengths and its flaws. As a result, I learned early not only to fix my ball marks but also to congratulate an opponent on a good shot, avoid walking ahead of a player preparing to shoot, remain perfectly still when someone else was playing, and a score of other small courtesies that revealed, in my father's mind, one's abiding respect for the game.” MindStillsCharacterCoursesFatherGamesResultsPlayerWalkingShotsBallsMarkGolfOpponentsScoreFlawsPreparingCourtesyAbidingGolf Course Author:Arnold Palmer
