“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.” – Anonymous

When I read this quote I tried to focus on a specific part of my golf game that would fit these sage words. The challenge I have is that it fits my entire golf game regardless of how I am playing. Basically, the efforts I make today are more valuable than waiting for the perfect time (which is an illusion) in the future to practice or make changes.

Golf is a game meant to be enjoyed. We are meant to relished the time we walk around any golf course because that is all part of the golf experience. Generally, I take the time to look around and enjoy my surroundings. However, from time to time I find myself rushing to finish my round.

Did I Forget Something On That Golf Shot

/ The Grateful Golfer / 4 Comments

Have you ever had the strangest feeling that you forgot something on your last golf shot? I get that feeling from time time to time and usually it is because I did! (Kind of like forgetting to write an article to be released earlier today, but that is another story…. 🙂 ) Solving this mystery or nagging feeling is a bit challenging, but not if you have a routine that sets you up for success on each shot. Even then, I sometimes scratch my head in disbelieve as I walk the 5 yards to hit my ball again.
