I never lacked passion, what I don't always have is patience and perseverance.

 

I was so obessesed in Golf in the recent couple weeks, really hoping to make a leap of progress on my game. The result, yes, I made good progress, but I was not enjoying the game as much as I could. I became so upset when I hit bad shots and almost broke my clubs several times. More importantly, I could'nt focus on other important things in my life, such as my family, my work and my application etc. The truth is Golf is not something one can improve by 10 shots in just a short period of time, it takes patience and perseverance, just as most of other important things in one's life.

 

I've heard people talking about learning things from playing golf, seems I am learning something from it too.

 

Here is what I am going to do tacticly:

 

1. practice or play golf three times a week, spend an additional 1-2 hours a week studying videos, lessons etc.

2. spend 10-20 minutes stretching my body to improve flexibility 3-5 times a week

3. be more patient with my progress, no club hitting after a bad shot, most important thing about golf: enjoy the game

4. no thinking of golf the rest of time, focusing on other priorities ( improve myself on my work, finish my applications by the end of Sept )

For Golf and for anything else in my life
