Oooohhh, can't wait to try to "just enjoy it!" Also, "A coach who works with PGA Tour players told me that golfers want to be told what they’re doing wrong and how to fix it. This approach doesn’t help most people improve, but it’s a great business model." Let's get out of that model!!!... Tim, thank you.

So good Tim! What a great article. And perfect timing.

Of course priorities are always going to change. Family first when necessary. Golf when you can.

What if we did more things with a view to having some fun. Cheer on your foursome whether team mate or competitor.

So long as intentions are good, forgive yourself and others and move on.

And get our own swings. Rhythms. What a great metaphor for living.

Rock on!

All those unconventional swings do have one thing in common. Impact position.

Finally Moe. I love watching videos of Moe Norman swing the club and describe what is happening. What he feels and what he actually does are usually two different things but he has such commitment and belief it does not matter. Legend.

The 70s were filled with golfers with unconventional swings. Miller Barber stands out. That was a great time in golf.

I worry about a culture where it is so controversial to say "family first, job (golf) second". Nicklaus said this. Perhaps it is easier to say this when your goals are achieved, your financially set but family first should be lauded not criticized.
