Every golfer has experienced some level of frustration on the golf course. As amateurs, our frustration generally increases when our expectations eclipse our results. I know that when I hit the links I expect to hit all my shots clear and on line. Of course, that is rarely the case, but I am not the only one in this boat.

Forgetting to Keep Positive On the Golf Course
From time to time I forget that keeping positive and grateful is how I like to experience any round of golf. I sometimes catch myself focusing on the wrong things. I am more concerned with what I am doing wrong than what I am doing right. It is a negative spiral that I try to avoid at all costs. Unfortunately…..

Have you ever sat down, tried to turned off all the noise, put your phone on silent mode and just thought about what is next? Of course most of us have pondered the big decisions in life, but what about the smaller decisions that affect your life? Have you really given that much thought lately?
Daily, I like to sit in a room to meditate and think. Many times my thoughts revolve around my health and happiness. I use focused intent and positive affirmations to help chart my life’s journey. I find that just 20 minutes makes all the difference in the world to my emotional state. During this time of quiet reflection, I like to think about where my life’s journey will go next.
I believe that things happen for a reason (although I do not always understand them) and we meet people or have experiences because we manifest them through our thoughts and actions. This is a philosophy that keeps me happy and grateful everyday.
You are likely thinking that this is all great, but what does this have to do about golf?
In case you did not realize, Golf is a passion of mine. I enjoy all aspects of this sport.I like being in the outdoors walking the green fairways, hearing the sounds of birds, and breathing the fresh air. I enjoy talking about golf and to try figure out the best ‘swing’ for me to reach my goal of being a scratch golfer. I like meeting new people and experiencing the joys of playing with old friends. But, I am at a bit of crossroads.
Where to go from here, what is next? This might seem to be an odd question, but with 2015 in the books, I like to start thinking and preparing for what is next. Do I continue to blog about golf? Do I cut back on golf and focus on other, possibly fun, areas of life? Do I increase my time about golf? Do I change nothing? So many questions, so many thoughts!
I obviously do not have an answer at this moment because I would share it if I did. I do know that, at least for the time being, I will continue to learn and grow my knowledge about golf. As winter freeze approaches, I will have more time to think and ponder about the future. Regardless of what I decide, I know one thing for certain: I will always be grateful!

I am a Grateful Golfer!
Lately, I have had my fair share of abundance on the golf course. I am riding a string of low scores, winning team events at a tournament, winning golf balls and generally experiencing great bounces on the links. I am sure many of you have had times just like the one I am experiencing.
It is during these great times that I remember it is important to be grateful as it helps keep my golf game and life in balance. How lucky am I to have such an abundant life!
I am also grateful for all the positive support through the years and especially the past couple of weeks. It reminds me of a saying by Zig Ziglar: “You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.” The best way to show my appreciation to everyone is to just say thank you!
I am a grateful golfer!
