They have lowered production to keep oil prices high to fleece more money from you and me. LIV Golf bankers keeping fuel prices high, and we are paying for it.

Golf: A Rich and Rewarding Game

A very tiny proportion of golfers play for lots of prize money and accrue lucrative sponsorships to boot. This is the reward in a highly materialistic society, where elite sportspeople and sales people earn huge amounts of money. Golf: A rich and rewarding game for those at the pointy end of tournament golf. Manufacturers and associated businesses can also reap good returns on their investments within the game and industry. The rewards for the vast majority of golfers, however, is within the actual game itself. The playing of golf as a recreational pursuit delivers a highly engaging experience for millions around the world.

Why Can’t I Sustain Good Golf For My Entire Round?

Hands up who experiences this problem in their competitive golf. Why can’t I sustain good golf for my entire round? Four plus hours is a long time and we are not machines. Despite the vastly improved equipment we play golf with it is still a tough ask to maintain your striking ability over 280 minutes. Playing good golf for this length of time, with all the variables presented by the golf course and your four ball, is challenging. Yes, the actual time involved in making golf shots is much less but it comes at unforeseen intervals over the duration of your round.

My Greatest Moment in Golf

“My greatest moment in golf was on holiday in Iceland because I went back to see family. I was playing Geysir Golf Course and was on the par 3 Litli Geysir. It was about 160m to the flag. I could see the famed geysers off in the distance, steaming like an ice giant with bad breath on a winter’s day. I struck my 5 iron crisply and watched the ball rise in the air heading toward the green. It was a well struck shot. The hope was making party in my chest. I watched the ball strike the green and roll forward. It rolled and suddenly disappeared into the hole. I had never had the ace before. It was the most special moment for me. It was furðulegur!”

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.
