Sonoma County, CA. ~ A lot of golf is played between the ears. We all know that. And then there’s that other part where the body comes into play. It would be real nice if we didn’t have to age beyond our early twenties but we all know


how that story goes. What we put into our bodies makes a difference. Diet, exercise, and sleep all play important roles in how we evolve. Learning to exercise our creativity as well as our physical body can make a huge difference in how we

get fit or how we don’t. When our core is in tune, we can find peak performance through a solid sense of connection and real balance. Equally important is the


equipment we choose. Not ev- ery golfer fits into a standard dimension. Taller players tend to need clubs that are more upright and shorter play- ers generally need clubs that are flat- ter with respect to how the club lies. The idea is to min- imize

A set of golf clubs that are properly custom fit will help you play better golf, most people do. As they say, confidence is the sexiest club in one’s golf bag. New equipment is never a bad idea.

determination. Not only that, a friendly club-fitter can also give you some options when it comes to new product and technology. Many of the ma- jor brands are bringing some awesome new innovations and improvements into their new lines of golf clubs. I al- ways tell my golfing friends that a little retail therapy never hurt anyone. A new glove, new


shoes, new shades, a new leather belt; ev- eryone wants to be Joe Cool and look the part. The truth is that you really need to look the part to be the part. Some


folks say that one should fake it until they make it. Perhaps that might work for some. For me it’s quite simple; the more I practice, the luckier I get. Just look at Tom Brady. Physically and mentally fit, an apex athlete living in the zone and that’s what we all want. When your equipment is right and your body is totally tuned; you are ready to play, indoors or out. Tune in, turn on, get fit.

Jack strode into ‘John’s Stable’ looking to buy a horse. “Listen here” said John, “I’ve got just the horse your looking for, the only thing is, he was trained by an interesting fellow. He doesn’t go and stop the usual way. The way to get him to stop is to scream heyhey the way to get him to go is to scream ‘ Thank Goodness!’ Jim nodded his head, “fine with me, can I take him for a test run?” Jim was having the time of his life this horse sure could run he thought to himself. Jim was speeding down the dirt road when he suddenly saw a cliff up ahead “stop!” screamed Jim, but the horse kept on going. No matter how much he tried he could not remember the words to get it to stop. “yoyo” screamed Jim but the horse just kept on speeding ahead. It was 5 feet from the cliff when Jim suddenly remembered “heyhey!” Jim screamed. The horse skidded to a halt just 1 inch from the cliff. Jim could not believe his good fortune, he looked up to the sky, raise his hands in the air, breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with conviction


“Thank Goodness!” ~


I guess this is what happens after you’ve worked at the same place for a while. I was eating at a fast-food restaurant when an employee began his shift by walking into the kitchen area and calling out, “Honey, I’m home!”
