Life Lessons from Golf

I haven't posted anything for a while but that happens sometimes. So I have been able to play a few rounds of golf lately and I am feeling great playing! I had shoulder surgery in December and I am glad it is healing well. But golf is a very interesting game that teaches me how to be patient. I am a club thrower! Sometimes when I make a terrible shot I will throw a club towards my bag and it is really not a big deal but sometimes it blows up. The other day I made a shot that was absolutely repulsive and I threw my club across the fairway. Now that is not the way to play the game and I had to take a second and pray for a better attitude and I am glad to say that I didn't throw anymore clubs. Golf can get the best you me and life does the same thing from time to time. Sometimes I need to stop letting life get the best of me and stop and pray. This is a lesson that I need to re-learn everyday.

  1. CJ Mahaney astutely commented in his book, "Humility", to play as much golf as possible (I'm a bowler, so I'd add that one to the list too), because it will work wonders on one's humility.
