Purpose Driven Golf

Written by Dave Moore


Continued from page 1

But what I soon found out is that golf has a sneaky way of adding a little bit of exercise to your life. And that’s great for those of us that hate to takerepparttar time out to exercise.

On a side note, I would encourage everyone to walkrepparttar 133247 course once in a while. Here is what I suggest to my students who are golf newbie’s: After playing a year or two, instead of trying to back up fromrepparttar 133248 white tees torepparttar 133249 blue, try to walk more this year and wait until next year to back up torepparttar 133250 blue tees.

Fun

When I play golf I have a great time.

Fellowship with friends or being paired up with someone I don’t know and making new friendships is another awesome benefit golf has to offer.

And there is nothing more exciting than dropping an approach shot next torepparttar 133251 pin, sinking a monster putt, or smashing a long drive in front of your playing partners.

These are some ofrepparttar 133252 reasons I play, but I think it is very important to figure out why you are out slapping balls around too.

Figuring outrepparttar 133253 purpose of golf in your life can only make you a better golfer... let me explain:

When I started off playing, I was not that good, as I'm sure many of you weren't. That being said, I would get so frustrated atrepparttar 133254 poor shots,repparttar 133255 missed putts,repparttar 133256 doubles and triples, and double pars. And most ofrepparttar 133257 time I would act like a complete fool. I would get frustrated to no end... slamming my clubs down, or throwing them, and it was a given that I would be ticked offrepparttar 133258 rest ofrepparttar 133259 day.

I can't imagine what I must of looked like, probably an imbecile. There are guys that I'm playing with that are 20-30 strokes better than me, but I'mrepparttar 133260 one acting like an idiot. And there is no doubt in my mind that this foolish behavior and mindset totally stunted my growth as a baby golfer.

Then I realized,repparttar 133261 only way to learn and get better is to play purpose-driven golf... even ifrepparttar 133262 only purpose for my next round was strictly just to have fun.

What I would like for you to do beforerepparttar 133263 next time you go play a round is ask yourself "Why am I going out today?"

If you keep a focus through your round that: I am out here to have fun or I am out here to hang out with my friends or I am out here to get healthy and be physically active or I am out here to feel like I accomplished something today... then you will have that reason and not let your mind run aimlessly with emotion.

I'm sure some of you old-timers have learned this overrepparttar 133264 years (and byrepparttar 133265 way I would love to hear from you if you have a relative story dave@thedaveway.com). This is usually why if you have hit a round with a person that has played for years... they may not haverepparttar 133266 talent that you do... but they can score right with you or sometimes beatrepparttar 133267 snot out of you.

Letrepparttar 133268 poor shots go away, letrepparttar 133269 good shots not get you too emotionally high... just learn from each swing!
