golf lessons of a sort


June 14, 2012

Hello!

Reflections from the golf course:  Understand, I am not a good golfer.   I don’t want to give the impression that I have mastered anything related to golf.    You may wonder what I like about the game.  I’ve wondered that many times myself!  Something I have noticed through my many swings, walks in the rough and on the fairways, is that many of the things I try to focus on, put into practice on the golf course are metaphors for other aspects of life.   Since I am hoping to spend time on the golf course this summer, this is an opportunity to share some of these insights.

 Take for example, the issue of finding the balance of ease and tension to hit a good shot.  Trying too hard translates into a too tight grip, body tension – doesn’t work; being too relaxed – translates into mushy wrists, no follow-through – doesn’t work.   Somewhere in between is that sweet spot of relaxed, firm, poised, strength.

Where do you notice this kind of balance in your life?   At work?   Following through with tasks you’ve taken on?  What is the sweet spot between pushing too hard and being a push over?   What does that feel like?   When does it feel easy, natural – and work?


Swing away,
Judy
