Story from Harvey Penick’s Lessons and Teachings from a Lifetime in Golf:
Ben [Crenshaw] came to see me when he was about 8 years old. …
There was a green about 75 yards away. I asked Ben to tee up a ball and hit it onto the green. He did. Then I said, “Now, let’s go to the green and putt the ball into the hole.”
“If you wanted it in the hole, why didn’t you tell me the first time?” little Ben asked.
