Golf and Your Mental Game: Golf as a Necessity or a Luxury?

I say Bravo to you for being on the golf course. Why? Because I think you are setting aside several hours to (hopefully) enjoy yourself. Let’s call this an example of self-care. You have carved out time to play a game you love or perhaps are addicted to? Do you prefer being a “corporate hero”Continue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Golf as a Necessity or a Luxury?“

Golf and Your Mental Game: Should You be Playing Golf at All?

Nourishing activities are those that restore energy and depleting activities make you worse. Assume you are on the golf course and you begin to notice the depleting moments outweigh the nourishing moments. If you are leaving a golf course in a worse mood than when you arrived should you ask yourself should you be thereContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Should You be Playing Golf at All?“

RKS Film: “Arctic Void”: Devoid of a Thrill but Full of Questions

“Arctic Void” describes itself as a thriller but I am neither thrilled nor horrified. I would better categorize the film as a mystery. I have a lot of questions as to why and whom! As a viewer you most likely will be asking the same questions. However there is no spoon feeding here giving youContinue reading “RKS Film: “Arctic Void”: Devoid of a Thrill but Full of Questions”

Golf and Your Mental Game: Taking a Moment

This golf season working as a Marshall I saw quite a lot of reactivity to bad shots. Often it sets in before the ball has landed because the golfer knows trouble almost immediately after making contact with the ball the shot is a bad one. I wonder if we can step back and say somethingContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Taking a Moment“

Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Our North Korean Experience

After our sumptuous feast with Kim and his sister we return to our hotel. Bob leashes us up and takes us for a walk. There are no people on the streets. There is no pee mail in this town of Pyongyang. Could it be all the dogs, a symbol of bourgeoisie decadence, have been confiscatedContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Our North Korean Experience“

Golf and Your Mental Game: That Voice in Your Head That Never Shuts Up

Do you hear that voice in your head that is often judging, nagging, criticizing or analyzing? Can you silence this voice at least momentarily? Indeed you can and its through meditation where by practice you realize that voice is nothing but a barbarian at the gate and you are left in a rare moment ofContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: That Voice in Your Head That Never Shuts Up“

Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Off to North Korea!

After we wake up and have our bowl of kibble and a half cup of jasmine tea in our water bowl Bob takes us dogs aside and says we have a call with President Joe Biden at 2 p.m. What is going on? At 2 p.m. we have a virtual meeting with President Joe BidenContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog Is Back: Off to North Korea!“

Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog is Back: It’s a Wrap!

Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog is Back: It’s a Wrap! Four months after we arrived in Darwin we have finished shooting “A Dog Saved My Life”. I worked almost every day and enjoyed every minute of it although Nicole Kidman made sure I was hydrated as she said this Australian sun can suck the lifeContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog is Back: It’s a Wrap!“

Golf and Your Mental Game: Golf Can Be Like Being Caught in a Traffic Jam!

Yes we have all been caught in a traffic jam. It can be a hopeless and frustrating situation as you can’t control the traffic flow. Again it is along the lines of react vs. respond. I realized this a few years ago returning home after a long week at work. How could I have chosenContinue reading “Golf and Your Mental Game: Golf Can Be Like Being Caught in a Traffic Jam!“
