A tradition unlike any other. Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the final day of The Masters in August, Georgia. As we all know it ended with Scottie Scheffler taking home his second green jacket (his first was just two years prior)
And while it was thrilling to see his celebratory moment, what amazed me more was the focus and determination he and his fellow golfers had throughout the day. The energy each player has from one hole to the next is something that no TV production can adequately capture.
I had a front row seat to watch players like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Rory McIlroy be both physically and mentally challenged. Shaking off what happened on the previous hole so that it doesn’t affect the one they are playing on. Something that even those of us that played little league sports know isn’t easy.
The game of golf is similar to our finances in that way. We can’t change the financial decisions we made yesterday, last month, or even ten years ago. And, we can’t let past mistakes keep us from achieving our financial future.
But we can practice, educate ourselves, and hire the right team to make better decisions going forward. Scottie even thanked his long-time coach for allowing them to add an additional coach to their team to improve his game. In the world of personal finance that looks like hiring an advisor, starting to invest, or even taking a financial related course.
The way to build up that resiliency in both your golf game and your finances is to understand where you can improve. For some of us that means more time spent working on our putting and for others it means understanding how your money is working for you. Ok let’s admit that some people need help with both of those things.
