How I Improved My Golf Game
Most anyone who takes up the game of golf likes to receive tips from experienced golfers. This makes good sense, and can shave some time off your learning curve. I personally can listen to them for hours at a time. I like hearing about and trying out new techniques to see if it improves my own personal game. I tried out and added many things to my game, and after years of staying average, I realized that there was one main ingredient that was necessary for success.
This realization did not come to me right off. It was years before I found it. Before finding it, I tried everything I could read about or be told about. I struggled through with trial and error. I gained a lot of experience. I even went as far as to pay for personal training from an instructor. But I could still feel in my gut that something was missing to my game.
The feeling of lacking something began to take me over. I tried to put my finger on it, but my mind could not come up with what it was. I entered a lot of different tournaments, and in some showed well, and in others tanked out. My game seemed to be stuck where it was. An understanding friend loaned his best golf instruction book to me, and I eagerly read it through and added some of the strategies to my game. I still had that lacking feeling.
I was searching for something that would give me an edge. An extra vein of confidence that I seemed to be missing. I could not put my finger on what I was looking for, but I knew if I could find it, I would be a much better golfer than I was at that time. I worked hard at improving my game with what I knew. I played often, and tried to play courses that were very challenging.
I finally got to a point where my game just stayed at about the same level. I went up some, and down some, but generally stayed around the same level of ability. I was getting stale, and a little discouraged. I laid awake nights trying to figure out what it was I felt I was missing. But nothing came to me. I figured maybe I was as good as I was going to get.
Days passed, and tournaments passed, and still my game was average. I made up my mind I would stop trying to figure it out, and let my mind rest and stop being troubled. I wanted to let go. I went out on my porch one day, and I watched as some children were playing in yard next door. A light came on in my head, and I knew I had found the missing piece to the puzzle. Simple, yet powerful.
While I was watching, the kids were digging around in their yard, and found a pretty little blue marble. They all smiled and wanted to hold it. And as they passed it around, each one closed their hand around it and made a wish. That was it! Since we were children, we have all believed in having a good luck charm. Before I teed off in the tournament the next day, I put my rhodium plated wedding ring to my lips and kissed it. I golfed the best game of my career. Simple, and yet very powerful. Belief was the missing ingredient.
