The Godly Golf Guru

I’ll start by saying, in all honesty, I am so new to this, that I’m sitting here trying to think what the word “blog” really means. Is it an abbreviation? Short for another word/phrase? Somebody tell me! I guess it doesn’t really matter for now.

I’ve been meaning to “blog” for a long time. Isn’t it amazing how many times we use that phrase: “I’ve been meaning to do…for a long time”? What stops us? Are we too tired? Too lazy? Bills? Kids? TV? What really keeps us from doing the things we want to do? Or even if we don’t really want to do something, we know that it needs to be done. We all feel great after completing a task, yet we put things off over and over again. Life is hard, no doubt, and real “life” stuff does come up. I’m just amazed at where the time goes. I say this in regard to myself. I’ve been “meaning” to blog for a while, and I know see that “a while” is actually around 3 months. 3 months! I blame it on the Devil. Ha! That sneaky, little cockroach. But seriously, I know perfectly well that we humans can’t blame everything on Satan. We have to take accountability for our own actions. I learned this a long time ago from the game of golf. During a bad round, it’s extremely easy to blame other factors for your own mishaps. The wind! The chipmunk making noise in my backswing! It’s too hot! The list can go on and on with golf. In game as tough as golf, much like life and it’s trials, until the player stops blaming other factors and begins taking responsibility for his or her own actions, that player can never fully reach their potential. Ahhh. Life lessons from a game. Only in God’s World.
