Saudi Golf League Endorsed By Donald Trump

Holy gee whiz Greg Norman you know your in good company when Donald Trump is on your side. The ugly Australian meets the ugly American in a warm embrace. Saudi golf league endorsed by Donald Trump because who gives a flying f*** about injustice, murder, and exploitation. Did you read the serve that former best mate Wayne Grady gave Norman? Those Titleist golf balls should read Entitleist because that is the way that some very rich golf professionals feel about their place in this world. It is not enough that they earn more money than most people will earn in a hundred lifetimes.

Finally, My Ping 7 Wood Arrived

Finally, my Ping 7 wood arrived after a 9 month wait. It was hard to believe that it had actually happened. My wait has been hard and long. Those who have had similar experiences will know what I mean. I had gone through a number of recognisable stages during the painful process. The 5 stages of cheated consumption I call them. Firstly, there is denial, then anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. You initiate a consumer choice and order your desired golf club through the pro shop at my local golf club. You are obviously excited about your purchase and a denial of any possible problem is your default position.

Why Golfers Don’t Wear Kilts in the Scottish Game

You would think that golf, being born of Caledonian heritage, its players would have traditionally sported the kilt and sporran. Especially as that sporran would have been perfect for storing balls and tees. The kilt is, in fact, rarely donned by doughty Scotsmen on the […]

Stoic Golfer TIP OF THE DAY

Tip No 1

Turn your focus around 180 degrees from out there to within. The answers to your quest for happiness will not be found out there, rather it will revealed by seeking within. Marcus Aurelius tells us In his book, "Meditations," - live in harmony with the universe by following the principles of wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation, and by using reason to guide your thoughts and actions. Marcus reflects on the Stoic principles and provides guidance on how to live a virtuous and fulfilling life. He writes about the importance of accepting what is beyond our control, cultivating inner peace, and performing our duties in life with integrity and wisdom.

Stop looking for short cuts and hacks in everything – the whole concept of giving less and expecting more is wrong. You are not gaming the system by this approach you are gaming yourself and your own integrity.

Episode 12: The Politics of Grievance - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

America is the great democratic experiment. Although, this is getting on for some 250 years now. This nation is in the grip of the politics of grievance. Partisan politics in America is more about hating the other side than particularly loving the side you are voting for. Americans have been encouraged to focus their attention upon their grievances via decades of negative campaigning and attack ads. Demonizing ‘the other’ is the favoured political pastime in the 21C. Identity politics and social values are the main game these days. Economic issues are now seen through this ideological filter.Murdoch, Fox & Stirring Grievance In AmericaRupert Murdoch and his Fox News are merchants of toxic polarization. This network is spewing out lies and fake news 24/7. Every presentation is top heavy in anti-woke content and a right wing bias. Regular viewers are sucked into a spin cycle of libertarian anti-government GOP grievance stoking. Old white men upset at their changing worlds, where heaven forbid minorities are now getting a say. OMG the sky is going to fall in. In this partisan realm complaints about there being too many coloured faces on TV and LGBTQIA folk making too much noise are legion. Uppity women talking about sexual harassment and such like make their viewer’s blood boil – which is the whole idea for Fox. Getting their audience riled up keeps eyeballs on them and advertising rates going up for their revenue.Popularizing Poisonous Issues For Political GainThe politics of grievance is all about popularizing these causes for the benefit of candidates and the party. The party promoting these grievances doesn’t need positive policies. They just bang on about how the other side is to blame for the problem.
