Life Is Like A Game Of Golf

"Golf is the closest game to the game of life.  You get bad breaks from good shots.  You get good breaks from bad shots. But you have to play the ball where it lies."

-Bobby Jones 

Seriously, can you think of anything that more closely matches life? You can do everything right and things go bad.   You can do things wrong and things turn out ok.  

If you're a golfer, you'll know exactly what I mean.  If not, you might not get it... but it's certainly true.

Good morning Carol.  I do enjoy the game and find that statement by Bobby is so on target.

Good morning James Dray .  Those of us who play the game can really relate, can't we?   Have a great day... in the fairway of life.  LOL

Hello Carol Williams, Yes, I know what you mean by this.  I am a golf (Well hacker) and Bobby Jones is right on about his statement

Enjoy the post very much and great analogy. Life is a game - even though at times it may not feel like or be "fun". Goals, freedoms and barriers  with a few random zingers - games.

If you are not a golfer, but a living soul, you would still get it :)

Carol- I'm not a golfer either but I get it.  You play the cards you're dealt and do the best you can.

Hi Will Hamm .  We're all hacking away at life and golf, aren't we? Taking the lessons and doing the best we can?  LOL

Hi Dan Pittsenbarger .  Maybe if more people thought of life as a game they wouldn't take themselves so seriously???  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week.

Hi Dorie Dillard .  Glad I could give you a little chuckle.  I can't tell you how many times I've hit a tree and ended up in the fairway, but not always.  Life is interesting that way.  Have a great week.

Hi Jon Zolsky .  Some people think golf is boring... yet it parallels life so much, and teaches a lot of great lessons.  Thanks so much for reading.

Hi Kathy Streib .  Yep... cards is another analogy one could use for life.   I've turned some bad hands into some of the greatest triumphs.  Life is interesting that way, isn't it?
