I am going to start off this episode a bit differently today. And it’s inspired by this account I follow on Instagram called @DansGolfWorld…he’s quite poetic and really threaded these words on one of his posts so perfectly and profoundly…it’s so good. In fact, it’s so good, I am going to add some background music to it…so I hope it’s not too corny but somewhat insightful and even create some feels for you…maybe even inspire you to see the game a bit differently. Here it goes…you ready? Okay, cue the music…
“Golf – for some, it’s just a game. A way to kill time between beers and bad decisions. But for you? It’s different. It’s a thing that quiets the noise. Not because it’s easy. God no. Golf is a bastard. Unforgiving. Addictive. Beautiful… in the way storms are beautiful – majestic, powerful, and fully capable of ruining your day.
But still, you show up.
Because somewhere between the backswing and the follow-through, something clicks. Something settles. The chaos outside the ropes gets put on mute. You breathe different. Slower. On purpose. Every round is a self-portrait—drawn in cuts and fades, in tempo and trust. You shape shots like brushstrokes. Some are ugly, Some are art. All of them are yours. You don’t chase the scorecard anymore. You chase the feeling. The one swing that feels like truth.
And if you’re lucky – really lucky – you get it once or twice a round. Just enough to bring you back. Just enough to believe that next time, it might all line up.
It’s not just sport. It’s meditation with consequences. It’s therapy without the couch. It’s church with worse music and better clothes.
You walk off the 18th not always proud, but always honest. And in a world built on bullshit and filters, that’s worth something.
It breaks you just enough to keep you humble. And heals you just enough to make you hope.”
