Gentlemans Game

I found this interesting article on Golf Digest. Put my own words and interpretation notwithstanding. (with courtesy to the author of course).

1. Make the tee time. (like life, getting on time is vital, be it in business, in our personal lives etc)
2. Look your best.(like life, we should get out of bed looking our best to present ourselves daily, neat and tidy has more advantages)
3. Speed up. (speeding is relative, but being on time not only impacts your game but others as well)
4. Play as it lies. (like life, pick up or pass up an opportunity as it comes along. Those who maximize opportunity wins while those who pass up loses)
5. Keep calm and golf. (like life, level headedness goes a long way)
6. A good sport. (like life, being gracious in defeat and humble in victory is the mark of a true gentleman)
7. Course care. (like life, a gentleman leaves a place better than when he founds it)
8. Silence is golden. (gentlemen are brief.)
9. Be alert. (like life, alertness denotes being 'in the zone'. So like life, walk with heads up and ears open)
10. Safety. (its always a good practice to keep this in mind. No one wants to live in an unsecured and unsafe environment).
