Team Europe understands the importance of motivation. They realize that emotion, channeled properly, is like the 6th man in basketball; a game changer. This video was circulating around and I thought it was worth a view, but not for the reasons you think. Continue reading

Excited to Be Playing Golf
Today I am going to attempt to play 9 full holes of golf. After 5 months, I think I have the energy to hit the ball 40ish times. I have no expectations, but it is the next step in my journey to great health. I have high hopes, not for my score, but for the fun I going to have bashing that little white ball around my home course of Osprey Links. Continue reading

It is in this area I missed doing the fun things like kayaking, hiking, and day trips to explore our area. Now that I am back, we can pick up where we left off. Continue reading
Heading to the Golf Course
Heading to the links! Whoot!
It is about time I made an appearance at my local golf course. The owner and staff at Osprey Links are second to none as they have offered unwavering support throughout my treatments. The customer service alone would be the reason I will return in 2019. My plan is to head to the course on Monday or Tuesday, grab a cart and loop a couple of holes with my friends. I doubt I will be swinging my clubs fully, but I figure I could take my putter and wedge and hack around the green with the boys. This will be a great first step and do wonders for my mental state.
