Tranquility is priceless on the golf course! Yesterday, I talked about playing solo on the golf course and remaining in the moment for the entire round! I am happy to announce that this mission was accomplished. What a fantastic time on the links!

I started my round at 5:45 am (finished in 2 hours and 25 minutes) with a large coffee in hand. As I pulled up to the golf course, I was the only car in the parking lot.

Today, by the time you read this post, I will either be on the course or long finished. I am playing early birds at my home track and anticipate being the only player there for at least an hour. A few years back, I played many solo early bird rounds and enjoyed walking the course in solitude. Today should be no different! Continue reading →

How to Win A Golf Tournament…The Answer

July 29, 2016 / The Grateful Golfer / 8 Comments

Hitting last in a scramble tournament!

Yesterday, I left you hanging. I quickly left a brief statement that I did not have the time to explain the sure way of winning a golf tournament! Well today, I am going to explain my view and why I think this way!

For today’s explanation, I will focus on the scramble format. My suggestions work for me, but I have found that they work regardless of the team composition. Are you interested? Continue reading →
