During the last seven years, I have watched my friends mature in the
world of Golf. This amazing sport has brought out the best in these people, and has taught them so many valuable life lessons. I am forever impressed, in

1. Humility and Respect

Golf requires that you show courtesy to others and that you communicate with
respect. In the Golf tournaments across the country, it is well stated that

to be on the tee box at 8:55. If you are late to the tee box, you are automatically
disqualified, no questions asked. While this can be a tough lesson to learn, it is one
that works brilliantly and has instilled in my friends the importance of being on time for
not only every tournament but every event in life.
3. Confession
Golf is a game of honor, and recognizing that a transgression has occurred and
taking responsibility for the transgression is a part of the game. This one act instills
integrity and fairness to all concerned.

someone else is walking by, and never to hit into a group playing in front of him.
These rules of safety have filtered into other aspects of their life, including biking,
swimming, and safety
