Core Value: Sportsmanship

When I coached golf summer camps we awarded a sportsmanship award to the golfer who best displayed this core value most consistently over the course of a week.  Sadly, it was really tough to find someone who did.  Most juniors lack the maturity to look past their bad shot and keep playing while others think it is fun to laugh at another's failures.  None of this acceptable behavior and I when I see it it gets corrected immediately. 

To be quite honest, I believe most adults are challenged in this area as well.  The game is golf and it is supposed to be fun.  You will have days when your talent shows up on the scorecard and then there will be days when it doesn't.  No matter the day, golfers of all any ages need to learn to support and encourage each other.   

sportsmanship:  fair and generous behavior or treatment of others,
especially in a sports contest.
