golf

This is for those of you that enjoy golf. I have the privilege of playing 63 holes of golf in 48 hours this past weekend. You talk about being tired after a day of fun that will get you tired after a weekend. My Friday scores were not what I wanted them to be. They were, well, above my average and did not help my team win any pride in what we have deemed the pride cup golf outing. Golf is a game of focus and a game of keeping yours eyes on the little white thing flying through the air. The better you do that the better the day is. if you play golf or have seen golf played you know that many people start each hole with a drive as far out as they can get it and a swing as hard as they can swing. Sometimes the ball goes where you want and sometimes it does not go where you want. Let me tell you a little bit about what i did to stay focused and bring my round back around. For starters I will tell you on Friday I had a nine holes that added up to 64 strokes. (WOW that is a lot for a guy like me, but then again i got my monies worth and as a dutch man that is good it was not a lot of money per stroke to play that day. ) Saturday i had to get my focus back and I had to stay on track, I did not use my driver and I did use my 5 wood only one time. It was a day of the 5 iron to get my focus back, a day that I decided I would rather be straight and in the fairway playing a little white ball off some nice grass rather than becoming a ball hunter in the woods. So I hit 5 iron after 5 iron after 5 iron to get my way through the course. I made it with great improvement and great confidence being focus on my game and what i needed to do, not what other people were doing around me, because they were hitting drives of 250 yards and some over 300 yards and mine, lets just say I was there in 2. So did the focus pay off? i can say yes it did because that 64 i told you about earlier on Sunday that became a 45. What can focus do for you it can take your eyes and ideas from other people and put them on you and what you need and enjoy and even get a great score. My golf game was not an exciting game or a flamboyant game but it was a game that got the job done. Sometime we get too concerned about how we look to the people around us and forget what we need to do as and individual. I was who i needed to be and stayed focus on my game and it worked. So what about you what are things you do to please others and look good but may not be what you need to do and may not be the best thing for you? Focus on what you need, what you are called to, not what the person next to you does. Be focused be a Hubble!
