I love the Game of Golf -- for the sheer pleasure of playing a round, for the mental discipline the game demands, for the lessons I learn every time I take the tee box about staying in the moment, playing the Game -- and living my Life -- with patience, good humor, and dignity, as it is presented to me.
I confess. I 'm a sucker for new equipment. Even though my rational self knows better, that part of me that always thinks today I will play a bogey-free round sometimes takes over.
