Golf Quote by Harry Beckwith
““As in golf, so in the rest of our lives. We practice our strengths but ignore our weaknesses. You can see the waste. You can only improve your strengths so much, if at all. Even if you improve them, there’s a good chance no one will notice; slight improvements are hard to spot. What people do notice are your weaknesses; if you can improve those, your improvement can be dramatic, and visible to everyone. Find your weaknesses and work on them.””
