Golfing Reflects You!

The idea behind my blog was tell people about Real Estate and everything else that randomly goes through my mind. Golf is one on those things that I enjoy going around up there. As addictive as it may be I have learn some things about myself through golf.

Golf is a true reflection of one's personality, traits and character.

Those who know me know I am pretty laid back. I don't get excited much. They also know I can get by with not trying too hard. There are however moments when I get very excited about particular things. So much that I think about them constantly and go through my day or week looking forward to getting the chance to do these things. Golf is one of these things. Particularly driving the ball. Driving is the one thing I get very excited about. I am not sure if it is because it is the longest or first shot or if it is because it is my worst stroke. Driving is the shot that consumes me. The mid range shots with irons are fun and I am okay at them and I do them with little effort, most the time I get by on them. Even the putting is not that exciting to me. I am okay at it and I except that. Putting is about speed, break and reading greens. I guess it is a little out of my control so it does not effect me the same way as Driving the ball. Driving is all about control. All I have to do it hit the ball off the tee and down the middle of the fairway, but because the club is designed for distance and not accuracy it makes it the most difficult to control. The shaft is longer and the point of contact is in front of center and so my control has these factors working against it. This must be why it seems so challenging.

My self realization of this has changed the way I think about control in life thanks to golf. It has shown me I need control and after getting some of it I can be laid back. I have even realized that if I can't get control I will educate myself or adjust to get it. This is especially true of driving the ball. I've read books, watched videos online and looked at tips to give me ideas for control. I know what to do I just can't do it, yet. And like most areas of my life when this happens I give up on wanting control and that is when I get it. My greatest teacher is humility.

If you want to understand yourself pick up a golf club and swing at a ball. Golf will reveal your character, traits and personality and it will do so in an exaggerated way.
