As 2017 comes to a close, I cannot help but look back and realize how fast time flies. This was a banner year at The Grateful Golfer. I exceeded all expectations, met all milestones and still have the desire to keep writing about golf. Mostly, it I want to thank each and every person who stopped by to say hello. I am continually impressed by the positive feedback and suggestions, for this I am grateful.

If Wishing Made It So
There are so many things in life that I would like to see changed. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your perspective, I have no control on the outcome of many events. Even though I may wish for something different, the results I look for do not come to pass. In these cases, I do not actively take action to try to impact the results except to wish for something different.
