It's really quite simple, Hit the little white ball down the fairway, then hit it onto the putting green, put one up close to the hole, then tap it in the hole for par. And those guys on TV make it look so easy.
Well, that is why they are on TV. Today it was a bad round with a few good holes. I made a couple of putts, I had a few good drives, I lost a couple of balls in the water.
It is funny what you can learn about someone watching them play golf. Like in the rest of life, when things go bad, sometimes we deal well with that and sometimes we don't. On occasion someone will go so aggravated and uptight and bent out of shape that they simple loose their cool and go ballistic. It is not funny to see that happen on the golf course. It is much less funny to see that happen in careers and marriages.
Whether we are on the course or off, skill and our luck combine in unique ways. The combined outcome of each makes for our total result. For a Saturday game with friends, it is well and good. We have lunch afterwards and make jokes.
In the boardroom or the bedroom, the stakes are higher, but the principles are the same. Stay focused, relax, do the best you can, and don't forget to have fun.
