Golf is a Metaphor for Life!

In April I spent a week away in Marrakesh with the Chix with Stix, some of my golfing friends.

I did not know what to expect about Marrakesh but the hotel, food, golf and people were all lovely and so too was the weather!

I played some of my best golf ever and I thought how Golf is a metaphor for life.  

Here are 3 tips that I apply to my golf game and which can be applied to life in general!

3 tips to Improve your life (and golf!)


✅ Focus on what you want – i.e. that drive down the fairway. As soon as you think about the bunker on the left, the water on the right, your mind thinks about those things and you are likely to hit the ball there. So focus instead on what you want - fairways and greens!

✅  Live in the moment – you cannot change the past or hit that shot again, so learn from it. And instead of worrying about how you are going to catch up with the next shot, focus on achieving what is within your means and abilities (not Tiger’s!) and how that will take you a step towards your outcome.

✅ You are responsible for your life – and your golf. It’s not the wind’s fault, your partners fault, your opponent’s fault or anyone else’s. You can always take responsibility for your life and recognise that although there are things outside of your control (like that dodgy bounce!) you can always control how you choose to respond to those situations.


 And with taking responsibility comes the empowerment to make the changes you want to lead your best life and be your best self!
