29/05/2002 Golf & Warmth
Greetings I wish you all and finally after two
year’s I’ve sat down and updated my site a little and
changed a few things.I’m sitting here
on a warm spring evening in Stockholm after
just returning home from the driving range.
Golf is for me something that I want to
do all my life! I say do and not
play as I feel for me it’s a pass-time and
not so much a sport, the experience or
feeling is of hitting this little
white ball in a way that you connect with it
so it seems to fly by itself.
This for me the goal is, to find the perfect
drive, the perfect chip, the perfect putt.
For those of you that have
hit a few golf balls hopefully know what I
mean, and those who haven’t I encourage you
once in your life to try it.
The correct swing is the all eternal dream
and the eluding goal that keeps us going
back for more, once felt and
experienced you want to do it again and again,
but as life is perfection is hard to
recreate on demand. So with our
failures as golfers we soon find out it’s
our emotions and self control that we need
to master. My Grandfather taught me to hit
the golf all about 20 years ago and I’m
not satisfied with my swing yet, but
as I said I’ve got my whole life to keep
trying, and maybe I’ll never be satisfied.
My warmest golf memories must be of a
couple of rounds I played in Mauritius
in April 2000 with a few German friends.
Some good shots were played that day and
some bad ones also as it’s seems go,
but the temperature was the hardest thing
to overcome those days. This evening’s
basket of golf balls I hit was as usual
full of chances and possibilities
for me excel…. and as usual the duel
between me and those white round things was
to challenge me as always.
I have to say I was more or less satisfied,
which is about all I ever am, because after
the perfect shot or two comes a less perfect
shots which instantly erases the memory of
the perfect shot. Keeps one humble does that
ball which is a good thing, or a torment.
But as mentioned it keeps you going back for more.
