Lessons from a Golf Game

I want to talk about the lessons I learned from golf. When I actually say the golf game session, I said to myself, “Oh, you’ve long desired this. Here is an opportunity to play.” Well, I watched how they were hitting the ball and I guess I wasn’t the only learner there. First, I held the club. In fact, I didn’t know it was called a club then. I just held the club and put down the ball, attempted scoring five balls on the floor. My first two or three strokes weren’t right. I was on target, but I was hitting the ball too fast. I was moving beyond the hole. When I tried to be slower, it was too slow. When the ball was about to reach the hole, it stopped. I realised that there must be a special strategy for this. Remember, I've Blog before that there’s always a strategy for everything.
