Golf Zen

Posted by mobile phone:

I played a game of golf with a friend of mine on Friday in preperation of the game to be played with my classmates during my 20th high school reunion. I hadn’t played in several months and I thought a warm up game would be just the ticket to get me back into the swing. I learned a couple of things about myself doing this.

First, my golf philosophy has always been that it’s a game, meant to be fun. Unless you intend to go pro, there’s just no reason to get upset. By worrying about what my school chums would think of me if I played poorly, I created a self fulfilling prophecy. I thought I might not do well and therefore I didn’t. Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you’re a failure or a success, either way you’re right.”

Second, I am not Tiger, Phil, Padrig, or even Sergio. I am not a pro. I am not conditioned to play two days of 18 in a row.

Thirdly, once the ibuprofin kicks in, you can begin to get used to the smell of the sports cream. Until then, you’re too irritable and the stuff just stinks… like my game.
