Are you a player? I’d like to think that I’m now a player.

My online golfing buddy is definitely a player.

Most golfers turn up, try hard but in my opinion don’t play golf. You’re not playing golf if you;

• Continually change your golf swing
• Believe your technique is the most important element of your game
• Are always looking for what’s wrong with your game
• Walk off the course exhausted
• Get overcome by self doubt (you can add fear and anxiety too)
• Change your style when the pressure is on
• Feel that you’re not living up to your potential
• Tell stories (make up excuses)

Playing golf is fun, rewarding and worthwhile – anything else and you’re missing out on the real enjoyment and success that’s on offer.
