Gr8 Ways to Play with Your Children!
Did you play with your children last week? No guilt trip here. I confess that I didn’t play with my children as they were growing up. Now, I wish I had. Here are several ideas you can use to plan this week’s play time with the family. Try them out. Let me know what worked for you. Have other ideas, […]
And I Should Practice, Because….?
Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as “muscle memory.” It’s an anatomical fact that while our muscles have many nerves, they don’t have portions of brain matter embedded within them necessary to remember stuff. However, if that’s true, and it is, then why do those who practice frequently make the best shots on […]
Learning to Relax Shouldn’t Be This Hard!!
While healthy living has much to do with the way that we treat our body, the fuel that we provide it and the physical exercise that we give it, it also involves our state of mind. Of course, we all go through spells when things begin to get on top of us and we start […]
Take 6 out of play
Sitting under the ropes on the 15th hole at Aronimink GC watching the final group on the tee what I was about to witness will stay with me for many years. Ricky, KJ, and Nick all pulled their drives into the left rough. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and the air was thick with drama. Ricky started the day […]
Energy Crisis? Try TOP (Turn it Off and Play)!
America is going through an energy crisis of incredible proportions. Consumption of coffee/tea/energy drinks are up. New products are being introduced every week. Staying up later. Getting up earlier. Getting by with a little help from our friends at Starbucks, et. al. We’re also going through another sort of energy crisis as costs for electricity […]
Why Doesn’t Your Mom Play?
Over the last five years, I’ve spoken with hundreds of families about playing golf. Most of the time, they’re next door having dinner and stop in to see what we’re all about. After a brief tour (we’re not that big), the husband and children often express their excitement about coming back real soon to play […]
Where’s Your Game Headed?
“He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” Okay, we’ve all heard that one before. Maybe you heard it when you took your family on week-long road trip and ran out of money half way through. Maybe you heard it from the boss at work after realizing the prospect wasn’t going to be available this […]
Whistling in the dark?
Stress, pressure, and anxiety can be brought on by all manner of things. Pending surgery to remove a cancer or replace an arthritic joint. A phone call wasn’t returned. Meeting new people at college or in a new residence. Watching your bride walk down the aisle. Years later, walking your daughter down that same aisle. Pressure is part of life. […]
Try “Tomato Smashing” to Achieve Success!
Everyone is familiar with Charles Barkley’s difficulty with swinging a golf club when he’s actually trying to hit a golf ball. His smooth practice swing is replaced by a swatting at the golf ball that includes several hitches and contorted body movements. If your golf swing isn’t like your practice swing, perhaps this story can […]
Who is in your group?
Last Saturday was one of those picture book days. Carolina blue sky. Crisp morning air straight from Colorado. Beautiful green golf course like you might find in Pennsylvania. And, 36 guys out for some fun and fellowship. Our annual church outing. Like most casual outings, the game of the day was a scramble with Callaway scoring. […]
