Being Sixtyone is simple. We follow our Academy code. Everything comes back to golf and being a golfer. Here is a list of a few guidelines. There are more, but we will start with these:
- Change the way you think about golf.
- If you don’t play golf, you should give it a try. If you do play golf, you should help connect someone new to the game.
- Golf is not taught. You must learn how to be a golfer.
- Remember: Golf is a game. You should learn to play. Play like you were on the sandlot.
- Play golf wherever you can, whenever you can, however you can.
- Be present. Turn off your phone.
- Separate the purpose from the goal. The purpose is to have fun. The goal is to play well.
- Remember the objective: get the ball in the hole in the least number of strokes.
- Smile and be first to say hello first.
- Leave the course better than you found it.
- Walk the course as much as you can (and carry your bag).
- Smile and be helpful.
- Learn people’s names.
- Look around. Smell the grass. See the clouds. Listen to the birds.
- Keep moving forward.
