Your Reaction, Your Choice

When we make a mistake, we should not look for somebody to cover up our mistake for us or fail to acknowledge that we were wrong. This happened in golf recently in the British Open. Bryson DeChambeau was given a two-shot penalty because he improved his lie by mashing down some of the grass. Bryson initially threatened to call President Trump to see if he could remove the penalty. Many of the golfers playing with him were disappointed in his reaction to the penalty. When you receive a correction, justified or not, how do you react to it? If you are wrong, are you willing to admit that you are wrong and move on to doing something better? If you are right, are you willing to humbly accept the fact that referees and officials sometimes make mistakes, and move on? It’s your choice.
