Golf is a Game of Patience!
Golf is a game of patience. Those willing to be the tortoise generally enjoy the game far greater than those trying to be the hare. It is sometimes difficult to describe the inner thought process when playing a shot, but watching the pros and elite golfers they all take their time. Sometimes watching them play equates to watching paint dry, but you will never see Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson rush through their pre-shot routine or their actual shot.
Golf is a game of patience. Many golfers have the best equipment, a gadget or two, and change putters routinely. They follow golfing innovations and always seem to have the newest driver in their bag. They are chasing the dream of shooting low, but never seem to play better than they did the year before. I have often heard “I am 20 yards farther with my new clubs!” or “this new putter makes the ball roll truer!” Unfortunately, they never seem to score better.
Golf is a game of patience. It is important to work on your game in little increments. Too many changes at one time has the tendency to cause more harm than good. Many players ask that if they practice, which part of the game will reap the most benefits. My response is usually, which club do they use the most when they play? As they think for a minute, the usually say their putter, followed by their short irons around the green. I respond “well that answers your question, your short game to reap the most benefit, most of the time.
Golf is a game of patience. It takes practice and more practice to become an elite golfer. It takes the willingness to put in the time to hone you golfing skills. This thought is not always popular because playing is way more fun than practicing. However, it improve your score and really enjoy the finer aspects of golf, practice is required.

I read this today and had to pass it on. I believe writing down your vision is extremely beneficial to a persons well being. It helps focus my efforts away for the rudderless boat I sometimes find myself piloting. Create yourself the day you want! I am grateful! See you on the links!
When we call someone a dreamer, it is rarely a compliment. We generally mean someone who is unfocused or lost in their own thoughts, and we expect that they are unlikely to do anything of value or to make any meaningful impact. However, when we call someone a visionary, it is an entirely different matter. They are someone we see as ahead of their time, bold and adventurous. We expect them to do great things. The difference is they make things happen here in the real world.
Rather than waiting until December 31st to create your vision for 2014, do it NOW. This can revolve around health/wellness, finances, career changes, personal relationships, anything you want to change in your life. What is the hold up?
Writing your vision down allows you to have a reference point for the times you are distracted, discouraged, or unmotivated. It is literally like a track…

Ian has hit the nail on the head. This topic is extremely important! Avid golfers usually fix more than one ball make on every green….my record is 45 in one round.
Thanks Ian for the great article.

“I just try to put it on the fairway, then the green and not three putt.” – Peter Thomson
By Ian Hardie
At any given moment during a day
I expect that there will be hundreds, if not thousands of golfers around the world
Working away at improving their putting stroke or buying a new golf putter
Hoping to achieve one simple thing
Which is to ‘hole more putts’ when they play golf
I know I’ve spent plenty of time over the years
Crafting an accurate and mostly repeatable putting action
With the goal always being to hole as many putts as possible while playing
Because the old golfing adage;
‘Drive for show but putt for dough’
Is not only absolutely correct when it comes to elite level golf
It really applies to any level of golf
As the putting green is the area of the game that can make…

Well golfing enthusiasts, fall is finally here. It is the time of the year that the reeks havoc on everyone’s golf game. There are so many distractions before, during and after playing golf that bring out the ‘Fall Troubles’.
All golfers feel them! Golfers have the desire to play as much as possible, but they never seem to get out as much as they want. Here are my top five reasons that the fall is the toughest time of the year to play:
Regardless of why you have ‘Fall Troubles’, remember that golfing in the fall is a bonus. It allows golfers to slowly unwind from an awesome season unless you live in New Zealand where your season is just starting! Regardless, I hope you had a great season and plenty of fun!
