Nearly 2 years ago, in my late 40's, I took up the game of golf, again.
My 4 prior attempts to play ended early due to other commitments, injury, lack of time or lack of money. I'd never stuck with the game for more than a few months.
My current life circumstances have enabled me to pursue golf more seriously this time. Determined to stick with the game and improve, I've gradually increased my frequency of play over the past 21 months from weekly the first year to 2-3 times per week last year, and succeeded in cutting my handicap in half twice - from 16 to 8 in the first 12 months and 8 to 4 in the past 9 months!

I've made this progress without taking lessons and without an emphasis on learning about, thinking about or fixing my swing. Instead, I've focused on my inner game - improving concentration, visualization, awareness and attitude.
In this online journal, I'll share some of the insights I've learned from others and discovered myself along the way to my eventual goal of shooting par.

When you disappear, Golf as Art shows up. The resulting void is where all the important discoveries, personal development, satisfaction, joy and fulfillment take place.

Swing motion at its highest level is the uninterrupted flow of natural rhythm from within.

A great golf shot is a thing of beauty. Repeating it is an art.
