Coaching Golf

The only thing better than coaching golf would be playing golf. I love this game.

Yet, here is the challenge

I am not that good. I am always working on my grip, my stance, my alignment and my swing.

In fact, it seems like all I do is practice.

If I am not a great golfer, why would I play, let alone coach?

Here is the answer. (read more below)

You tee off from the first tee box and you hit that small ball well. Not your best shot but it carries you to 160 yards from the green.

With your trusty seven iron you again hit the ball well, but you are left of the green. On the fringe. Was it a great shot? No. Will it do? Yes.

Your third shot is a little chip. Chipping is all about feel - and at times you lose that feel. But not today. Your shot rolls to 6 inches from the cup.

Tap in for the par.

Why do you love this game? Because par on a beautiful day is wonderful for the average golfer.

Why do you coach? Because your partner that day is your 10 year old son.
