What Are You Afraid Of?
Watching someone try to hit the ball for the very first time is interesting. What they tell their bodies to do is often an expression of the way they live their life. For example, do they turn their back to the target? Golf is one of the only sports where each participant should turn their back to the […]
What Do You See: Obstacles or Beauty?
Ask someone to describe the 7th hole at Peeble Beach Golf Links and they’ll probably mention the ocean waves crashing against the seawall on the left, right, and far sides of the hole.

Can Your Game Stand “Ryder” Pressure?
Watching Jim Furyk agonize over his last four putts in what may be his last Ryder Cup as a player on Sunday was very painful. Even more painful was the picture of Jim with hands on head in utter disbelief as the European team celebrated the win next to him. The scene reminded me of seeing Justin Leonard’s putt […]
Golf: The Sport of Business. Build on it!
Ever wonder why so many salespeople play golf? What is it about the game that draws them? Could it be the opportunity to take a swing at an inanimate object and send it two or three times farther than Ryan Howard’s longest home run or Michael Vick’s longest pass down field? Or, could it be […]
