Sunday At The Masters

April 10, 2022 0 2 yrs

They say that green is the colour of envy and there are a lot of envious professional golfers who covert a green jacket. There is talk of the past champions walking a little taller around Augusta National. Neither Scottie Scheffler or Cameron Smith have a green jacket or have won a major in their brief golfing careers. Tiger has five of course. Rory doesn’t have one. The 2022 leaderboard on Sunday at the Masters contained no past champions in contention to win. Some are talking about a changing of the guard at the pointy end of tournament golf.

Shift Your Focus From Out There To In Here

Golfers compete against the course to shoot their best score. So many of us look at the superstars in an attempt to garner some improvement in our own game. In fact you need to shift your focus from out there to in here. Watching the best players on TV is not really going to help you that much on your golfing journey. If it did we would all be great players rubbing elbows with the elite players on the PGA tour. Manifestly this is not happening and therefore a new approach is called for.

Der Regen Fallt Schon Wieder

Der Regen fallt schon wieder. Scheisse, ich habe diesen verdammten Regen total satt. Golf ist nicht gut im Regen. Bei Nasse rutschen die Dinger und konsequentes Ballshlagen ist schwer zu erreichen. Auch zu viel Regen ist schlecht fur die Seele. Golfer singen selten im Regen, entrinken aber nicht, winken. Sogar die Vogel verschwinden, wenn es regnet. Birdies versiegen und Eagles sind extrem unwahrscheinlich. Ich rufe den Gott des Himmels an, mit dem Regen aufzuhoren, denn wir haben genug, danke!

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.
