Golf Sick?

-

 During a rain delay today, Larry was watching a You Tube video interviewing Dr. Morse, a guy that has unlocked the key to total health and long-term wellness. Of course it does involve clean meats, fruits and veggies, however he did start the conversation by saying you must BELIEVE that you can be healthy. And then he explains we have had so many generations of poor eating habits that it is possible to detox and reverse the bad, however, it might take awhile.


So as I drive home from 3 days of disappointing tournament golf, mourning all of the shots left out there, the trophies going home with someone else, cuts missed, I start to question my belief in myself and my game. This has been a part of my grieving process as of late. Within 48 hours, Larry and I will go through my rounds of golf and we’ll come up with a plan and we’ll start working on my game again. I will start feeling better again.

The pain of the disappointment hurts so bad, so deep in my heart. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Is that doubt, disbelief or just the kind of self-pity that makes you wanna Run For The Border? Back to that healthy eating lifestyle again...

Why is pure positive belief so hard? It’s probably like detoxing our system of generations of prescription drugs and food additives. How many of our mental emotional beliefs are ancestral? And it doesn’t have to be golf related to affect your play.

Who’s up for some emotional detox? Sounds as great as taking sugar out of my diet. How bad will those withdrawal symptoms be?


Many Birdies,
Melissa

Why Golf?

-

Since I returned from the Northwest Women's Open in June, I have been asking a lot of golfers why they play the game. I do get my fair share of "I don't know" but every now and then I do get a meaningful response from the souls who are willing to slow down and consider the question. But then yesterday, the question was asked back to me and it has taken me 12 hours to generate a few ideas as to why I chose and continue to choose golf. However, one thought continues to stand out; golf has been my ROCK . It is my CONSTANT . Golf being constant is ironic to me as the game itself is ever-changing. So how could it provide stability for me?  I was handed a golf club when I was five.  Or was I really handed a FUTURE or an ornate gift ? Or was it Pandora's Box ? Golf has outlived my childhood, teenage years, boyfriends, and jobs. It has survived college, pregnancies, herniated discs, and lost loved ones. It has traveled the world with me and continues to stay by my side...

2nd Annual Tri County Junior Open

  2nd Annual Tri County Junior Open Junior golf… why is it important? The PGA of America’s number one reason is to develop life-long benefits. What does that entail? It gives them a chance to see what makes this game great, from etiquette to how much fun one could have. It’s also chance to get out and find other kids who share an interest in this sport. Golf, as we all know, is social as much as it is competitive. Some have said, though, it can be difficult to find something for their child to get involved in. That’s why the Tri-County Junior Open exists. It’s a chance for the kids, of ages 10-17, to experience what a tournament style atmosphere is like, but reminding them to still have fun and take it all in. The number one priority, as we’ve mentioned, is to get out and play. We want the kids to come out, enjoy this great game, compete, and see what it’s like to start taking golf seriously. How does this open stand out from others? A huge aspect of this is having a USGA ru...

Know Your Worth, Pumpkin!

I have pumpkins showing up everywhere in my world.  The first started growing behind the golf shop in the weeds where I dump spent pumpkins every November.  Then I noticed one growing next to my driveway at home. Strange place, but I've learned that strange things happen in my world. And then yesterday, I noticed one growing at the end of the driving range. I really have no idea how that one got there.  However, when an animal or autumnal fruit or aberration shows up, I tend to research the meaning of this sign in my life. Why is this symbol or sign showing up for me right now? The first internet search of pumpkins shared the following: "Pumpkin is one of the more resilient fruits, finding ways to grow large and bulging amongst sparse soil and sharing nutrients along a connected vine that reaches into the ground to replenish itself. Perhaps for this reason pumpkins have become symbols of prosperity, growth, and abundance." It seems that the pumpkin perfectly describes my ...
