For those of us who participated in the Broward Co Women's Amateur with hopes of grandeur and ended the two days feeling like we let ourselves down, let me say this about that………Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I am very competitive with myself, and no one can beat me up more than I will. And being angry with myself is exhausting for both me and those who must bear the venting of my experiences. By the way, thank you... (and you know who you are) 😊
Instead of drowning in my sorrows, I sat back and said to myself, “Self, failure makes you stronger and there is always room for improvement.” So here is some advice from someone who has coined the phrase “Pouty Face” and learned to turn it around (well…still a work in progress):
- Have self-belief
- Set your own goals
- Understand your limitations
- Don't set unattainable expectations for yourself
- Recall a positive takeaway, like - What part of your game was on fire?
- What did you learn that you can apply next time?
- Successful athletes who experience a lot of failures are often some of the most successful because they can reevaluate why they didn't reach their goals.
You put yourself in a hole and it’s, “Can I get up and down and still make bogey?” But that’s how life is. Sometimes you can’t control it. You don’t control the negative things that happen. But you still have to overcome them.
Most importantly, remember to HAVE FUN and enjoy all 18 holes. No one is paying us to play, at least not yet !!
Wishing you good shots on the course,
Your President - Tracy Nessl

Through the generosity of local golfers and country clubs, the First Tee receives thousands of donated golf clubs. Some can be used by high school students and veterans, but many are too big or too stiff for children.
So they partner with Blake's Golf Shop to sell the remaining clubs which raises funds to buy child appropriate U.S. Kids Clubs and to fund their programs. If you are in the market for a different set of clubs, bags, shoes, etc. please visit Blake's Golf Shop. Your purchase will support the mission and programs of First Tee – Palm Beaches. There are two ways to shop. Visit their online ebay site with over 6,000 listings or visit their physical location at:
1820 Hypoluxo Road, Unit C6, Lake Worth Beach 33462
