Dive Brief:

• The first lesson to be learned from watching golf pros play in the Master's Tournament is to stay after a goal if a shot – or a business decision or a step in the construction process – goes wrong.
• Do not dwell on a mistake because it is in the past and cannot be undone; learn as much as you can so you can try to influence the future.
• Work at what you know and keep learning so you are ready for what may arise – or in golf terms: practice, practice, practice.

Dive Insight:

Augusta is a pretty nice place to go to "school" for lessons about running a business. Pleasant surroundings do not make the lessons any less useful, however.
