I was watching a TedTalk the other day given by an entrepreneur and economist named Nat Ware. He’s a Rhodes Scholar based at Oxford University whose research focuses on social impact, poverty alleviation and the economics of happiness. And so...he seems really smart and has done a lot of research on this subject so I decided to listen.  And, as soon as I started listening, what intrigued me was his very first opening line. He said this…He said...”I remember being shocked the first time I went to Africa. I was shocked when I met a one-legged taxi driver in Kenya. I was shocked when I met Sonia an orphan schoolgirl in Rwanda. And I was shocked when I met a disabled subsistence farmer in Mozambique. What shocked me wasn’t their poverty, but their happiness.  So, what does this have to do with golf? There's a key lesson here about EXPECTATIONS that will blow you away.
