Newest Obsession
I feel better about obsessing if I can relate it to work (or a blog)!
Some people are naturally good at things - others of us have to practice to get good
Even with tons of practice, we may never be good - just better than we were
Some people can do things just for fun - I struggle enjoying things I am not good at
If we focus on something, we will end up IN it (water or sand or tree) - choose carefully what we focus on
You can't hit the ball very well if you are worried about if your pants are too tight or your shirt is too short - minimize distractions
It's all about your swing; you can't make much progress if you don't get the basics right
One thought per swing; if we think about 4 things we are thinking about nothing
Learning something new is much easier with a coach
Only remember the good shots (I'm still working on if this is a good thing for life or not...)
If you just want to have fun, don't keep score; if you want to get better, keep score and set goals
Little changes can make a huge difference (like a 4% greater hip turn)
You play better when you feel like you look good (justifying my wardrobe and shoes)
Sometimes you just have to go and do it - even when you don't want to - you're always glad you tried
It's good to remember you are never the best and you are never the worst ...at anything
There are times when you just need to acknowledge you lost your ball and move on
No one hits all perfect shots; it's all about how effectively we adjust our approach
Weather can affect our attitude and our attitude affects how we show up and play the game
Sometimes we need to ride and save our energy for the important part - hitting the ball
The ball really does go where you are aiming; oftentimes, we aren't aiming where we think we are - someone else needs to point that out
Take nothing for granted (like the 6" putt)
If we look hard enough, we can find something to appreciate in every situation
If you aren't having any fun, why are you doing it?
Okay, my golfing friends - I know you can add to the list - GO!!
