    Golf's gracious do-over, a mulligan, was the beginning of Paul's own second chance. Guided by the wisdom and advice of an old pro, Paul learned about priorities, self-confidence, and playing a good game both on and off the course. You'll learn all about:The importance of friendshipsThe true meaning of forgivenessDetaching from outcomes and embracing positivityThe value of having mentors to guide you along the way
