Golf Carts Keep Your Cigar Lit And Dry

August 29th, 2007 |

Golf carts have certainly changed the face of the game of golf and made it easier for many to be able to play the game without physical limitations or discomfort. Or maybe it’s just Me and I prefer not to walk and try to enjoy my cigar at the same time.

Electric Golf Cart

Check this baby out. It’s solar power assisted and so if it’s still sunny you’ll never need to walk because you forgot to plug it in. This is one of the most comfortable and durable golf vehicles I seen. There’s no need to limit yourself to the golf course when you can follow the sun through your planned community or take it with you on your RV and yachting adventures.

 

Thanks to modern technology, what used to be a hotly contested battle between gas and electric power as the best choice for golf carts is becoming fairly one-sided: electric golf carts have become the vehicle of choice, largely because of environmental concerns.

Golfing With Churchill

August 20th, 2007 |

Beautiful weekend for golf here in Reno. Perfect temperature and blue skies are abundant down in the valley. Planned on heading up to Tahoe but seems the place keeps catching on fire this season. Hard to follow the ball or breath in too much smoke, rather play in the rain.

Man it only got better as my Churchill burned down. I’m sure it was the cigar that enabled me to make a couple of those amazing shots; I just relaxed and let that little bugger have it. The club found the middle of the ball and between the two of them made a perfect shot. I should have aimed at the green though as it went 30 yards farther than I thought it would.

Saw some honey bees too. That was weird as I heard the food genetics folks forgot about them in there crop fixes and killed about sixty percent of them around the world so far Einstein made a calculation that if the bees died we only had about four years left for the most of us. There you go, that thought came to me from that cigar while I was on a green awaiting my spectacular finish.

It Just Depends On How You Look At It

August 7th, 2007 |

Hi, my name is Will and I am a compulsive golfer. Some of the reasons for this are my love of golf, gadgets, technology and techniques as well a great appreciation for being outdoors as much as possible. I just love playing with gadgets and testing what they can do. Seeing how good I can get using them and enjoying the blending of a new skill with my already acquired skills. It’s fun to watch and see what you can teach your golf body to do and after a while, be amazed that it does it all by itself. That inner grin of an ‘Oh, that was good’, that  to me is a compulsion to go for.

Beside a love for technology, being on a golf course on a beautiful day can be very habit forming. Courses are selfishly designed and built on many of the most attractive spaces on our beautiful water planet. Golfing is always an adventure trip through manicured places and sometimes exotic beauty. Yeah, golf can be addicting, but it can also be an invitation, an invitation to commute with the earth, with friends or perhaps a just a good cigar.

Golf can also provide an opportunity to change perspective, not only about golf, but about life in general. Golf can be metaphor for life, and like life, golf is an illusion. It exists as a contextual field in which the opportunity to experience different possibilities resides. Each time the ball is on tee there is a new beginning with endless possibilities. Golf, like life, is really about facing the unknown. Each round, each hole, each shot, represents a chance to experience both ecstasy and agony. In striving for mastery, one realizes that they are both the same. So to master golf, and life, you must surrender to the struggle, and perceive all outcomes as perfectly played.

Compulsive golfers can truly learn to enjoy the beauty of being in love through the game of golf. In love with gadgets and the earth we play golf on. It really depends on how you look at it. If your having a feeling of being tormented by a compulsion or thinking you may be neglecting the family, you don’t necessarily need to look at those as a bad things, merely opportunities to develop creative new techniques to improving your overall game. Golf, like life, can best be looked at as an endless cascade of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle.  Golf, as in many sports is a game where your most feared opponent takes the field out of your own thought stream. Truly, it all really just depends on how you look at it.
