Putting Out of Your Mind: Two Types Of People

“You can’t be successful at putting if you’re letting fear of missed putts dictate your behavior.”

In both instances, the question that should be bouncing around your brain should be, “What is my next step after this one works?”

I’m reminded of one of my favorite reminders: “There are only two types of people in the world. Those you can help and the other kind.” You can’t do much about one type, but you can do a lot for the other. Choose wisely.
