Being a Grateful Golfer

/ The Grateful Golfer / 6 Comments

Gratitude and GolfI believe that being grateful is the cornerstone to great golf, however golf is not the only thing being grateful enhances. My 3 foot space is something I try to improve every day. I think it is important to leave a situation, place, or encounter in better condition than when I found it. This tall task is sometimes very difficult, but the rewards far exceed the effort. Being a grateful golfer is no different.

There is no secret formula to being a grateful golfer. Like all things in life, it takes a conscious effort to develop a state of mind that empowers us. And to develop this mindset can be challenging and easy at the same time. It must take some sort of activity. Continue reading →

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

/ The Grateful Golfer / 5 Comments

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to celebrate the awesome things in our lives. Many people will travel long distances to share this fun holiday with family and friends. Personally, I like Thanksgiving because of the friendships, joy and love expressed among best friends, family, old acquaintances and people you have not met yet.

By reflecting quietly, we realize how grateful we are for all those who have touched our lives. Some times it is an encouraging word from a stranger, that unexpected phone call, or a random text from someone you are missing. Reaching out to those special in our lives is a fantastic byproduct of Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a special day. I wish you and your family all the best on this day of thanks! And if all else fails, remember:
