BackYard PostGame Show #1

In the spirit of disclosure, you should know that I'm typing this in my backyard with the grill sizzlin', the ice clinkin', and the radio cooperating with a string of good music. Why? I'm celebrating the great round I had at Shadowmoss today. I played lousily, but with three of my best friends. So with a nice breeze, some exaggeration of earlier course prowess, and three amigos, I toast you, and urge you to post a response to this or any post on golfBlog!

Pink Floyd Golf tip?!

Golf knows no boundaries. Like a great song, golf transcends all borders. Roger Waters, of Pink Floyd (the early years, anyway), in an old interview, is asked by a reporter what the bricks represent in "The Wall". He answers that they are metaphors for fear, and as such, they keep you from reaching the things you desire. "Fear is what keeps one from making a great golf shot..." he says. I always thought it was swing mechanics, stress, or distraction. When you think about it, it makes sense. We hesitate in our swing, or don't follow through because we fear the bad shot, and in doing so, we create a self fulfilling prophesy. The shot ends up ugly, like the fear that bred it in the first place. So, the next time you're over the ball, remember to hit that bastard to the "dark side of the moon"!
