Isn't It Time?

Amazing to see Tiger Woods back competing at the Masters Tournament just fourteen months after he almost died in a car crash!

God bless him!

In a pre-tournament Q&A session, a reporter asked Tiger if he thought he could still compete at a championship level.  Tiger replied that his golf swing was fine.  He wouldn't play if he didn't think he could possibly win.  It was walking 72 holes that concerned him.

As we all grow older, we can identify with the aches and pain of doing things that used to come easily for us.  His aging was simply accelerated by a moment of losing focus while driving his car.

The ultimate professional, Tiger said that he has always done physical as well as mental preparation before a round of golf.  He said now that prep and recovery simply takes longer, but his team does an outstanding job helping him get out there to play the next day.  Of course, he also had to put in Herculean effort.  It obviously takes away a lot of time from other activities he also enjoys.

With more money than most of us can imagine every having, Tiger certainly doesn't need to play the Masters for the potential purse.  He will be a golf legend no matter what he does with the rest of his life based on his remarkable past performance.  So why go to all this effort?

He wants to just know that he did his best to do it all.

While we realistically know we are not going to ever experience routinely scoring pars and birdies like Tiger, many of us enjoy playing golf as part of a balanced life. 

Perhaps you enjoy golfing on vacations too, and there are golf programs on cruises to make playing the great courses of the world easier.

Regardless of whether you golf, live the life you really want, not just the one that is easiest, the one distracted by cell phones that make you veer off the course you want for your life.

Plan now to take that dream cruise vacation that you will truly love and be able to look back at fondly the rest of your life.

Isn't it time?
