Are you a player? I’d like to think that I’m now a player.
My online golfing buddy is definitely a player.
Most golfers turn up, try hard but in my opinion don’t play golf. You’re not playing golf if you;
- Continually change your golf swing
- Believe your technique is the most important element of your game
- Are always looking for what’s wrong with your game
- Walk off the course exhausted
- Get overcome by self doubt (you can add fear and anxiety too)
- Change your style when the pressure is on
- Feel that you’re not living up to your potential
- Tell stories (make up excuses)
Playing golf is fun, rewarding and worthwhile – anything else and you’re missing out on the real enjoyment and success that’s on offer.
