Horseshoes or Field Goals?

What do you do with a missed goal? Do you give yourself a pat on the back for a good effort or redouble your efforts and try to better next time? Photo by Laura Stanley on Pexels.com Growing up in Eastern Kentucky, I got to play fair number of games of horseshoes. I wasn't very good at getting ringers (where the shoe finds the metal stake), but I often ran up points by getting it close.

When Learning: Do You Persevere or Give In?

"...never give in, never give in, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense."

Moms, Are You Teaching Your Children How to Play?

Stand up straight.” It turns out that even though Mom never swung a golf club, she was encouraging me in one of the essential elements of any good ball striker: good posture. Check Your Physical Posture. A dependable golf swing rotates around a fixed axis much like the earth rotates freely on its axis. Imagine swinging a golf club tied to a "hunched over" fishing rod. The club would be slow to respond and the ... Read more...
