\u201cYou\u2019re better than you think you are. To make the clubhead travel 26 feet on an arc and catch the ball on the clubface is a small miracle. Beating yourself up over the imperfections within that miracle is kind of ridiculous. Never wait to be good to have fun, and never lose sight of the fact you’re doing something pretty amazing.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
