Play Full Throttle
Life is Short. . .Go For It!
This isn’t about going for the green or hitting impossible shots. This is about being fully engaged in your golf game. Each shot gives you an opportunity to be in the directors seat. . . Here are some questions worth asking:
- Are you really committed to your game, or are you waiting for it to magically improve?
- What is holding you back? (fear, no practice plan, overloaded on technical information, negative self-talk, etc.?)
- Are you playing golf “half way”? Maybe you are fully engaged in your technical swing, but ignoring your short game and mental focus?
- 5,10, 20 years from now when you look back at your game, how are you going to feel?
- Is there a part of your game that you are neglecting because you don’t understand what needs correcting?. . .take a lesson.
“We are never going to be any younger than we are right now,” states David Hershada Wagner. Bring out the best in your game, so you can have a great golf experience. There’s no time like now. . .just go for it!
