Golf is supposed to be an enjoyable game. We golf over and
over
again, because we love the game. So why do we beat ourselves
up,
just before we get off the first tee box? Have you ever heard
yourself with a bunch of negative emotions before the golf
round?
“Another day out on the golf course and my back is killing
me.”
Why would you even consider golfing, if it were painful? Why
did
those even consider golfing with a bad back? I’ll tell you
why.
All for the love of golf!
“I have to get through this eighteen with the least amount of
pain.” Why not play nine holes instead of eighteen? I’ll tell
you why. All for the love of golf!
“I am not too sure if the mental part of my game can take any
more. It’s tough mentally when things just aren’t going
right.”
If your confused mentally, why even bother picking up a golf
club? I’ll tell you why. All for the love of golf!
“I hope this is not going to be another brutal round, like the
other day?” When things are not going right, why not take a
day
off from golf and meditate instead? I’ll tell you why. All for
the love of golf!
“If I do not hit the fairway on the first tee box, I think
I’ll
quit playing golf after eighteen.” Why quit after eighteen
when
the first shot may be the reason to quit? I’ll tell you why.
All for the love of golf!
“If I do not make par on the first hole, I am not going to
keep
score for the rest of the round.” If your temper is that bad,
why carry a scorecard at all? I’ll tell you why. All for the
love of golf!
“The first water hazard my ball ends up in, my golf clubs are
going in with it.” Do yourself a favor and play with rentals.
Why? All for the love of golf!
“I better not three putt any greens today. I’ll break my
putter
on the first three putt green, if I do.” Do yourself a favor
and
pick up for two. Why? All for the love of golf!
“Frosty will never see winter, if I get a snowman today.” Do
not play golf with anybody by the nickname Frosty. Why? All
for
the love of golf!
To help avoid some of these negative emotions, booking a tee
time in advance will help keep your mind on a positive level.
Why? All for the love of golf!
