What an unorthodox round of golf today. Things became odd after making the turn. When I returned home and reviewed the round, I realized my drive went left on every hole into the rough, except luckily not on #12, a par 3 which is surrounded by water on three sides. Other than that, this unconventional back nine was downright weird.
As the back nine was unfolding, I had a realization that something out of the ordinary was happening. By the time I got to the fifteenth hole, I chuckled, knowing most likely a blog would come forth. What amazed me most was my attitude; I just accepted each shot with no fuss, resistance, or annoyance. Needless to say, the angels were shocked!
In hindsight, I didn’t hit a one fairway, played
shots from alternate fairways, and found places on the course I never knew existed. It reminded me of being at the arcade playing a pinball machine. And what was truly astounding was that my score on the back nine was what I would typically shoot. Go figure!
The message from the angels is to stay the course, put your best foot and attitude forward, and it’ll all work out … often even better than expected. A great reminder, as occasionally I get stuck in the grind, or push to make things happen.
Sometimes an unconventional way leads us to discover something we would not have experienced otherwise … inside ourselves.
