Self-awareness, recognizing how what we say, think, feel and do affects ourselves and others, applies everywhere. Like, imagine this. You are playing softball with a group of friends. You are at bat. You smack a ball to deep right field and, to the surprise of everyone, you run to third base.
How do you think everyone at the ballpark would feel? What affect would that have on your teammates?
Playing golf without knowing the rules or how to play is the same as playing softball and running to the wrong base. And, golf (according to the interwebs) has more confusing rules than other sports. So to be a Sixtyone golfer, it is important that you begin to learn the rules, learn how to play.
