Babblings of a Golf Pro
Sure is easy to lose track, isn’t it? Your intrepid reporter has lost a close friend, the ability to swing a golf club and most of his lower gastrointestinal tract over the past couple of weeks. Not putting any of this out there for sympathy; rather quite the opposite. The past few weeks have become of laser of clarity in some regards. Take a look around you...what do you see? Your family, your friends, your co-workers...and it becomes so simple...time matters.
The time you spend with your loved ones, the time you spend with yourself. It all matters. So the obvious next question being “Why am I listening to the pseudo-psychological babblings of a freaking golf pro?” Well, for one reason, you’re sitting at work acting like you’re doing something important, but we both know you’re surfing the net trying to get around the company firewall. Second, stupid golf pro or not, there are some generalities in life that pertain to golf pros, presidents and popes alike, so quit playing Words with Friends long enough to let me finish.
Time matters. And the time you spend doing things like fishing, playing golf, going to the mall....that time especially matters. So this holiday season, take a look in the mirror, find the ones you love, and make sure you spend the time. Whether it’s on (insert gratuitous product placement here) River Ridge’s luscious green overseeded fairways and slick greens, or in your living room. Take the time.
Fairways, greens and one putts.....
