Patty Sheehan: "Some kind of peacefulness about what you are doing"

Woman Power IconGood morning Lucy,

Patty Sheehan is a World Golf Hall of Famer and one of the greatest women to ever play the game. I found the above from Patty interesting, plus this from her HOF induction speech in 1993. The ‘peacefulness’ part really resonated with me.

“I saw myself as a winner from a very young age. I played with boys all my life, and I seemed to be their equal, if not better. I never thought of myself as anything less than a winner. To be successful, you need drive, determination and a belief in yourself, and some kind of peacefulness about what you’re doing.”

While Harvey Penick may be best known for The Little Red Book and his teaching of Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw, did you know that Harvey also worked with Betty Jameson, Betsy Rawls, Mickey Wright, Kathy Whitworth, and Sandra Palmer? Those ladies won over 240 LPGA tour events, 2 U.S. Women’s Amateurs, and 10 U.S. Women’s Opens.

Lastly, I’ve been using the abbreviation WWW in my journal lately, as an acronym for my ‘world is working wonderfully.’ It is just a little reminder that the world can work in your favor if you approach things from a place of purpose, and as Patty says, with some kind of peacefulness. It does not mean there will not be bumps in the road. But, not much will rattle you when you come at it this way.

Is your WWW on WPW?

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

RELEVANCE: From Beginning to End

How do you find and enjoy a place of purpose when you start your career, throughout your career, and when you stop ‘working’ and use your wisdom, resources, and skills to give back to the world? That’s right, from beginning to end. You don’t have to settle for doing things you do not enjoy.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
