At this year’s British Open, Tom Watson almost won, which would have made him the oldest winner of the championship. I don’t know anything about Tom Watson other than that, and I don’t really pay attention to the golfing world. But he said something that I really admired:
“I put myself in a position to win but I did not get it done.”
Wow. He admitted to his errors and accepted responsibility. I don’t know if my initial reaction would have been as good. He could have blamed the wind, his caddy, his age – but he DIDN’T. How many Tom Watsons do you have in your life?
