Golf As a Microcosm of Life

He threw his club into the drink* Muttered loudly, "My game stinks" Then he made a hole-in-one Jumped for joy, "This game is fun!" __________________________ *The 'drink' on a golf course is a water hazard, where you don't want to hit your golf ball -- or in this case, angrily throw your golf club(s)!

And welcome to life. Yes, our emotions do change that fast! This is perfect.

An artful summation of life in four short lines! And a message for our young folks especially.

Even though I don't play golf or know that much about the game. I understand your thoughts completely. You are absolutely right about this. Life is like golf in a sense. When things don't go as planned, we get frustrated- sometimes angry. Of course, when things go right, we are overjoyed. Such a powerful message in these few words. ~ Brandy

Gosh, from your comment, I would have thought that you are a professional golfer, if you hadn't told me otherwise, Brandy. You really got the message!! (Not everyone does, surprisingly... I was a top caddy and a pretty fair amateur golfer through high school). Thank you so much for your encouragement! Joy and Light, Gershon
