LIV Golfer quotes Wayne Gretzky while explaining ‘being kind’ is a ‘learned quality’

LIV Golfer Matthew Wolff shared his perspective on the importance of kindness and also quoted legendary Wayne Gretzky while explaining how 'being kind' is a 'learned quality.' Wolf emphasized his point through his experiences in life and golf.

In a "Fairway to Heaven" podcast with Jerry Foltz and Su-Ann Heng, Matthew Wolf said:

"I think it's a learned quality. I think it is. I was always like you have to be respectful, you have to say please, you have to say thank you. I think one of my great quote by Wayne Gretzky it was like, 'You can always tell the true character of someone by how they treat like your waiter.'"

Legendary Wayne Gretzky is a former NHL player who is considered "the Great One" by sports analysts. He has the most career points (2,897), most career goals (894) and most career assists (1,963) in NHL history.

Matthew Wolff further talked about the importance of saying "thank you" to waiters and criticized people who mistreat waiters for issues beyond their control, such as undercooked food. The LIV Golfer compared the same analogy with caddies and said (via LIV Golf):

"It's the same thing with the caddie. To be honest like I try to treat everyone really well and in the hit of the moment sometimes you can get a little heated here and there and stuff. But a caddie they're never trying to give you a bad number. They're never trying to give you a bad wind. Their livelihood is in your hands."

LIV Golfer Matthew Wolff further said that he believed no one is maliciously trying to screw someone over. Wolff further accepted that sometimes things go your way, sometimes they don't, but emphasized that one always has control over how one wants to respond to every situation.
