Been learning about Golf. The sport. What I like about it is that its described as a "precision sport" and that says a whole lot about the person that excels at it. Aim. Take the shot. Win.
I
spent most of my life thinking golf, soccer and rugby were stupid sports. I
still think rugby is stupid and my children will not be allowed to play it.
Soccer has grown on me. It makes me a little too emotional for my liking
though...
Golf
is interesting. I always thought it was just about putting the ball into the
hole. I didn't know that the guy who puts the ball in using the least number of
strokes wins. That's what sold me on it. I'd actually want to learn how to play
if my co-ordination was not so awful.
I was thinking about
it, and its alot like life.
Do
I want to be like the guy that made a bunch of rash and uneccessary decisions
and mistakes and kept ending up with the wrong thing and learning from the same
mistake over and over to get to where he needed to go; hurting himself and the people
who love him in the process, or do I wanna be like the guy who got it right the
first time he got the chance to take the shot?
This year its different.
My
whole life I kept making wrong turns. In so many places. Not asking for
direction can leave you going round in a never ending circle of failure. Its
not just about getting there. Having everything. Achieving what I haven't all
this time. If it were JUST about getting there it wouldn't matter. But I
want to get there through the path that involves the least amount of hurt. And
I have had my share of failures already. Enough for me to know that this time
around, I can't afford to miss the shot.
I
have one shot left. First putt off the green and I got somewhere. Second putt and
I got right next to the hole but I fell short. I only have one shot left and I
don't want to waste it.
The
difference this time is that I am waiting on the voice behind me telling me to,
"Walk this way." Before I thought I had the answers and knew the
methods and then I met the biggest challenge of my life that showed me that my
understanding is nothing in the face of the realities of life.And that I only have myself to blame. But there's only so much loss one heart can take.
I
want to be the one that wins.
I
want to be the one that got it right even if I couldn't be the one that got the
hole-in-one. I won't go as far as the triple bogey this time. I have too much
to lose just between me and you. The lower the handicap the better right? So
one stroke left.
One. Stroke. Left.
