Golf is like Life!

This week, I got a hole in one in a golf match!

My opponent said “I don’t think it’s dropped” as she promptly hit her ball into the trees.  
It was the third hole, 146 yards, bunker protecting the green. I hit straight towards the flag, one bounce, a roll and IT WAS IN!

• I didn’t shriek or scream
• I didn’t take my shirt off and run around the green
• I didn’t win a car

• I did take a photo
• I did write a 1 on my card and put a ring around it
• I did feel delighted

But, it was just one hole and we still had 15 holes to play and I needed to keep my focus until the end.

Afterwards, I thought how life is a bit like golf and that hole in one:

• When you are clear on your outcome (the flag)
• Put in the effort and take the right steps (lots of practice)
• Trust in yourself (my swing)

Then sometimes it comes together perfectly.

Most times though, it takes a few shots and a bit of a zig zag to achieve your outcome. That is when being consistent in those steps and believing in yourself will help you get there.

Of course, it’s important to celebrate the wins along the way too!



Unfortunately, the photo above is all I have left of the ball. I carried on playing with it and put it in the water later in the match!

That’s golf and that’s life!
