Deep dives
Lesson 1: Play it like it is
Accepting and adapting to the circumstances is crucial in both golf and life. Just as golfers have to confront and navigate the imperfections of a golf course, we must acknowledge and find solutions to the challenges and setbacks that life presents us. This mindset cultivates resilience and adaptability, which are vital qualities on our life journey.
Lesson 2: Stay present
Maintaining composure and a neutral mindset can lead to experiencing triumphs even after disappointments. This lesson is demonstrated by Tiger Woods' iconic shot during the Masters, which came right after his most disappointing shot. By refusing to succumb to negative thoughts and staying present, we remain open to unexpected successes and opportunities in both golf and life.
Lesson 3: Play with somebody new
Playing alongside new partners in golf teaches us resilience and the importance of managing relationships and challenges. Being open to meeting new people on the golf course, whether for a short duration or potentially a lifetime, develops connection, community, and the ability to navigate different dynamics. This openness to new experiences extends beyond golf and applies to life as well.
When everything shut down during the pandemic, I turned to golf as a way to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. What was initially a fun thing to do during lock down, became a passion. I started to realize that the lessons I was learning on the course weren't just applicable to golf - they could be applied to life as well.
So, in this episode, I share with you seven lessons that have helped me in all aspects of my life.
Enjoy!
