What separates great players from the rest?

What separates great players from the rest? Remember the uproar when Patrick Reed was caught improving his lie in the bunker? The camera didn't miss a grain of sand, and neither did the public. It was a scandal that rocked the golf world, yet Reed denied it all the way. That's how controversies are born, right? Now, let's talk about Sahith Theegala. He found himself in a similar situation but chose a completely different path. He didn’t even manipulate his lie, but he called a penalty on himself. No drama, no denials, just sheer integrity. In a world where bending the rules can sometimes seem like the norm, Theegala’s actions remind us of the importance of character. It’s not just about winning or the next tournament; it’s about how you play the game and the legacy you leave behind. This isn't just a golf lesson—it's a life lesson. In any field, how often do we see people choose the easy path over the right one? And what does that say about our values and the narratives we choose to champion?
