I have been involved in the game of golf for nearly 50 years.  I got started when I got hit in the eye with a baseball bat and decided to spend time playing a safer sport.  Along the way I have learned many things about people and this UBER ADDITIVE GAME called golf.  Here is a short list of what I have learned:

 

• Golf is a difficult game to learn and impossible to MASTER (think.... golf is hard).

• Golf is a game for a lifetime because you can play for a lifetime and it takes a lifetime to learn.

• Golf is more fun when you are good.

• When you are trying to achieve a goal, EVERYTHING MATTERS.

• Improvement results from enjoying what you are doing, not the other way around.

• Feel and Real in your golf swing are different.

• Fundamentally solid golf swings age better than those that rely on compensations.

• Golf, like LIFE, is not always fair.  Accept it.

• FAILURE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO SUCCESS.

• Great golfers are made not born that way.

• PASSION and COMITTMENT almost always trump RAW TALENT.

• Very few things are achieved in life without help from others.

• The joy you get from helping others far outshines the joy you receive from helping yourself.
