From the Cart
Path: Ben Hogan said, ''Every day you miss playing or practicing is
one day longer it takes to be good.'' Our son has a wooden plaque hanging
in his bedroom with this famous Hogan wisdom carved into it.
As parents, we also need Hogan's advice, just slightly modified.
''Every day a parent misses building confidence in the junior player is
one day longer it takes for the junior to be good.'' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
