Playing Golf Helps Me Deal With This Recession

Folks, there comes a time when you must ask yourself this very important question.


Do I continue to do the things that I enjoy, namely Golf, during a time when the country is struggling to pay bills? Well, YES!


Playing golf is MY meditation, it relaxes me and helps me regain my focus. Some people drink, others meditate. I play a few rounds of golf.


I am well aware of the current economic crisis, but is it REALLY that bad? Or are we allowing the media to frighten us?



True the oil prices are sky high, banks are going belly-up and loans are pretty non-existent at this point. Hey, we ALL should have seen it coming with the mortgage fiasco brewing in the winds.


We can stop driving ourselves mad, and just move forward. Continue on with business as usual, sure we'll have to work a little harder ...be more creative until this "phase" ends, and it will. Until then...I'm going to play some golf.

Love Golf and Golf Tips !


Why Golf Is A Beautiful Game...Dad's love Golf and I'm proof of that!


Have you ever told yourself you could give up golf- it had finally frustrated you to your wit's end, and you could just quit? Then, of course- on the next tee, you rip a drive like you never have before? I love golf.
Determined to hit a good shot, I over-corrected and came over the top with my five-iron, pulling the ball long and left of the green, close to where the pro and his pupils had been practicing. Arriving at my ball after a short cart ride,I saw the task at hand: from a side-hill, bare lie, I would be forced to pitch downhill to a fast green sloping away from me with a deep sand trap on the other side of the flag stick. To top it off the pro says, "not to put you on the spot, but we were just discussing all of the different choices a player has when pitching and chipping around the greens on Donald Ross courses... Do you mind if we observe how you go about this shot?" On the outside I said with a smile, "sure, no problem at all, go right ahead." On the inside I was thinking, "I wonder what would happen if I just sprinted into the woods right now?"

This game rocks!
