Life & Business is very much like golf.

I have heard all the comparisons about the game of golf and life. Our time in our business life and our time in our golf life often mirror each other in a very similar mode. I find when I am working with balance tone and tempo in all parts of my life I allow myself to see clearer the simple steps needed to reach my goals. When there is a lack of focus I find I am am quick in thinking and often make poor choices.
A few weeks ago on a Tuesday I had a great day at work. I spent some time during my weekend getting re-organized and making notes for my week ahead. Monday was a rainy wet day so it was a great day to work and the energy carried well into Tuesday and I felt great. When I arrived at the golf course Tuesday afternoon for a regular skins match I was relaxed. I did not go through my normal warmup nor did I even put, I just hung out before my tee time and decided I was here to enjoy the game and relax and play golf. No grinding or pressing I just played and let someone else keep the score and took one shot at a time. I had great tempo, good balance and just played the game. I knew I was playing well but never checked my score during the round or asked anyone what their score was.
On the 16th hole I made bogie and 17 the same and on 18 I had a three foot put for birdie which I missed but hey no big deal I felt great and had a very relaxing round of golf.
When all was said and done I shot 78 and missed beating a pro golfer who I play with all the time by one stroke.I still have some work to do both in business and Golf!!
