Golf--A Game For The Senses

      In our busy culture and lives, we don't always stop to smell the roses.  Do you ever stop to take in your surroundings when you go out to the golf course to play a round.  Are you single minded about getting your clubs out of your car and getting on with the task at hand which is to play golf.  Most of us when we go to  the course are so focused on playing golf we something--something very special.
      Think about this for a moment.  The golf course and the game are a rich environment.  There is a lot going on there. This is a place where the senses are busily interpreting the environment which your body has been placed. Yes, golf is a game but that game is played in an environment that is a banquet of stimulation for your senses.
       Take a look around you. The sensual delights don't stop from the time you take your clubs out of the car until you finish your round, fellowship at the nineteenth hole and putting your clubs back in your car. Use all five senses-sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing--it just takes the time to experience them. Our busy lives don't quite allow for that because it is always so full of stuff to do. Take the time to stop and take in that which is going on around you.  Believe me, you will be glad you did. The game will seem different somehow.
      I will have more on this in future posts.  In the meantime, slow down and take time to experience what is around you, especially at the golf course.

Climb to the top and experience what lies ahead.  Enjoy the view.
