Happy Friday Friends!
On Monday I watched an 18 hole round of golf.
’Twas a beautiful day with birdsong, light conversation, and clear pathways.
As I strolled, I remembered…
that I used to play golf in a weekly league.
I was an amateur — a duffer — who eventually gave up the game to channel my energy toward activities that I find more meaningful.
For everything there is a season?
And sometimes intentional quitting is necessary for growth?
Anyhow, after spectating the first five or six holes, I had a recognition that even if I’m forever lost in the weeds, digging out from the sandbox, or overshooting the green — I’d rather be playing my own ball than watching somebody else.
Kinda like life?
On this 🇺🇸Memorial Day Weekend🇺🇸 I respectfully honor those who sacrificed so that I can choose my games… and how I play them.
Let Freedom Ring!
The Power of Online Connectication Event
felt like shooting par or better!
A BFN podcast episode showcasing a recording of the event will land on your green later today.
Sometimes being a spectator is just the inspiration we need to get in the game?
Love this post today Gail! Thank you so much. I have a Robin of my own. Still no babies yet. I get to peek in after my morning run. She is usually sitting in the nest so diligently. It's such a miracle and makes me smile each morning. Thank you.
Was it Twain who said that "golf was a way to spoil a nice walk in the woods? I have my own story related to quitting golf. I won't tell the whole story here except to "tee" up some interest. I scored 68 in my last round on a Championship course and tees. On the front 9 I scored 32 which was one shot shy of the course record. I didn't score any better on the back nine because my hands were shaking so much. At the time I was an 11 Handicap which for the uninitiated means my normal score on this particular course was 83. It was an out-of-body experience. I have never played a round or touched a club since then. Thanks for the reminder.
