2014 is upon us. My imagination is abound with the endless possibilities!

Have you ever noticed that if you look backward in time it seems to disappeared in a blink of an eye. As you look forward, time is appears slow. Don’t get me wrong, I like to remember the great times in the past, but looking to the future and creating each day anew is quite exciting.

As 2014 approaches it provides: an opportunity to make positive changes, an opportunity to embrace hope, and an opportunity for new beginnings. I do not make New Year’s resolutions because I believe each day is an opportunity to make the changes we want….however, I have found that the best way to make any change lies in the decision to want to change.

As the golfing year unfolds, I have made my first step to change. In an attempt to expand my golfing message, I have moved The Grateful Golfer Facebook Page. If you search the same name under Facebook I am sure you you will find it I want to use Facebook to its full capacity and under a page I was quite limited. I am hoping this will be seamless, but as I have discovered that nothing works exactly as we hope when trying new things.

The techno challenges apply to golf as well. As we embrace the new year, it is time to try new things; work on areas of our game that really needs fixing…..in my case a little change will go a long way. This year, my biggest goal is to add more distance off the tee and in the fairway with my woods. 2014 is going to be a great year….it is time to start! My first step is to expand my knowledge. As the year unfolds, I am sure other goals will arise, for now, one major change is enough.

Thank you to everyone who continues to follow The Grateful Golfer. I hope to continue to offer tips, advice and maybe make you laugh in the new year.

I am a grateful golfer! 2014 is a new beginning. Happy New Year!

Today is a new day for those of us who have decided to enter the 21st Century. I create a Facebook page called The Grateful Golfer. I realize it is not a big deal for most, but I had a Facebook account, once, for about week. Okay, stop laughing; I never thought it was important, but I think I will give it a try.

Interesting thing about this particular step….it relates to keeping up with technology. I was reading an article Why the R&A and USGA Need a Major Reform after the Long Putter Ban by Troy Vayanos at Talking Golf Online about technology. His point about whether to embrace technology or to limit its advancements for the love of the game makes me ponder its merits. Ultimately, technology can even the playing field for amateurs and that may not be a bad thing.

Entering the 21st Century and embracing technology; I am still waiting for the snow to melt so I can go practice….too bad technology could not do something about that! I am a grateful golfer – see you on the links!
