“Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make
a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.”
Billie Jean King
Don’t you just love Phil Michelson’s spirit
and confidence! He loves golf, and he enjoys playing the game even if
he doesn’t win. And he is NEVER afraid to hit the ball.
In the PGA championship tournament two weeks ago on the
18th hole, Michelson hit the ball into the rough. ''It was a shot that
I struggled with out of the rough all week,'' he said. ''I tried to remember
some of the shots I hit as a kid in my backyard. I hit it aggressively,
and the ball popped up nicely, and it rolled smoothly.'' This was the
PGA championship with a purse in the millions, and he just walked up and
hit the ball like he did as a kid in the backyard!
Mickelson continued ''I knew that I needed to make birdie, I thought maybe
just to tie,'' he said. ''I walked off the tee and saw a par on the leaderboard
for Bjorn. When I hit the second shot, I knew I needed a birdie to win,
which was a nice feeling.''
Almost no one was making birdies in that final round of
the PGA, but Mickelson had a “nice feeling” and expected to
make that birdie and win. He has a passion for playing golf, and he is
an extraordinary talented golfer. Why would he ever have a bad day?
