Show Notes:

Bo Van Pelt – Professional Golfer, Father, Husband & Philanthropist

– If you want to be the best, you hang out with the best group you can be around. You go practice with the best players, you just play. You shut up and listen and watch what they do.

– How do you prepare mentally? We only have one battery for our mind and our body. If you use that battery just to get your body to perform, you won’t have that battery left for when you need to have your mind perform. You have to be able to compartmentalize depending where you are. No matter if it’s on the golf course, or at home with your family.

– “We want to leave it better than we found it”

– Through our First Tee Program, we teach 170 kids each summer 9 Core Values through the game of golf: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment

– “Seek advice from an uninterested third party”
