FORE!

So I played in a golf tournament today and this was the first time I golfed since this tournament last year. I was extremely worried about who I would be playing with since I was paying today, turns out I was partnered with our CEO and two other gentlemen in a best ball tournament. I knew right away that this would be a fun day when one of the other guys said to me "This is only my 2nd time golfing in my life and the first time was 2 weeks ago." The day was fantastic, we finished 5 over par, but had a great time.

Sports, especially golf, is all about relaxing but why is it that golf stresses so many people out. We had a fantastic time talking with each other, teaching each other and making fun of each other. We hit the ball, we missed the ball and I hit a house. We saw the entire course and tore a lot of the course up. We drank a beer, ate some food, drank some water and ate more food. If I could have kept the ball in the fairway I would have won the longest drive contest and then had to putt in a putt off for my CEO in the putting contest. On the 18th hole, which was really the 14th hole we putted 4 times each so that is 16 times total but ended up with a par on the hole.

A day like this really puts into perspective what you should stress over and what you should not stress over. Make time in your life to have fun and not worry so much, stress is meant for those really tough times in life, don't worry how far right you keep hitting the golf ball. If it keeps going right, adjust and make it go straight.
