La Nina no esta buena para mi golf. Yo no juego bien al golf en la Lluvia. Hace es mucho Lluvia en este momento. Vamos la Lluvia. Abandonar mi campo de golf. Juego el golf en la llueva no es divertida. Nosotras enferma de la llueva. Por favor el Dios llevar la llueva. El golf es my vida.

Writing About Golf

A lot of golfers ask me why I bother writing about golf because it is essentially an experiential activity and not so much a theoretical study. Firstly, I write for a living and I love writing, so writing about something I love doing makes sense to me. Secondly, writing is a form of communication and it involves a search for meaning. Identifying and conveying some of the more nuanced riches at the heart of the game is, I find, a worthy endeavour. Golfing deserves a chronicler who seeks out the special nature of this unique activity. Understanding deepens the experience in my view.

Golf: A Sinister Game?

Playing golf under the umbrella of sunshine and rain, those of us who are lovers of the pursuit are, often, amazed at the presentation of the game in the media. We, who regularly toil with the small white ball within the green cathedral, find it […]

What Is Golf?

What is golf? It is a vicious arrangement where nature takes its revenge on hapless human beings for seemingly no reason but to get its kicks. Talk about passive aggressive. Golf is a game (LOL). In this game you have 18 holes artfully plotted over an area of land. On this land there are a number of hazards or penalty areas. These may include bodies of water, wild bushland, and desert like sand traps. The aim of the game is to get a small white ball from one end of a strip of land to the other, where a small hole is located. This hole is demarked by a flag on the end of a thin pole.

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.
