Transform Your Life and Your Golf Game Through Your Heart:

• Golf is a game of learning.
• Golf is a game of becoming.
• Golf is a game of knowing.
• Golf transcends human life.
• Golf is spiritual.

In the world of sport with all the training and practicing, it is easy to forget why we play sports. The game of golf is a spiritual excursion into realms of peace and happiness that are unique in all of sport. When you are performing at your ultimate high, it is as if you are riding the flow of energy of the universe. Golf transcends all of man's earthly values and dwells into the spiritual values that harmonize the entire planet. In golf, it is known as "Being in the Zone". These values are inherent in our spiritual nature and are given to us by a power greater than we are. In the process of learning to perfect our sport, these qualities are either enhanced or overshadowed by the earthly goals of success, money, and power. In order to sustain the heart energy, it is necessary to be engrossed in the process of enjoying each moment to its fullest potential instead of looking ahead to the uncontrollable outcome. In the quiet, stillness of our higher mind the answer resides, waiting so patiently to be asked for the secrets to unlock the mysteries of life. It is the same in sport.

Golf is a metaphor for the self-empowerment that is learned through the adventure of life. As the game/journey begins, there is an apprehension about the trip, the destination, the adventures along the way, and the arrival at the ultimate destination. The journey/round of golf may be full of pitfalls or as smooth as sailing on a calm lake, depending upon the guidance of the skipper. The power is given to us to make a choice in either direction to carry out our decision. Which one we choose doesn't matter to the giver of the power.

It is more important to feel and "know" what you want than to analyze and dissect, or conquer the so-called "faults" in your swing. Feeling for one second in the emotional body is much more powerful and important than ten minutes of rote memory and thinking things through about they should be. Be in the present by feeling the love you have for the game of golf. Give it life, give it freedom of expression through your physical body. As you expand this feeling, you will be more in touch with the sacredness of your spirituality. You will become more powerful and sense that you already know the ways to take command of your emotional and physical bodies.

When you get frustrated or upset with your golf efforts, return to your heart center by letting go of judgment and expectations of the results, feel the past experiences of golf that warmed your heart and brought you joy, and trust in the process of totally experiencing the present moment.

Love is what makes the world go around. Love is what makes life worth living. Love is the feeling of the utmost high. To perform well is to love performing. To love….. is to BE.
