Is It Worth It
Rivki D. Rosenwald Esq., LMFT, CLC, SDS
Are you the golf or tennis person?
Wait, don’t tell me – – -neither!
Or impress me with your athleticism -both!
Maybe that’s great, but, a bit too great.
Some people are out for the major commitment. 18 holes out on the course and goodbye to civilization. Hit and walk, hit and walk and so the day goes by.
It’s relaxing and fun for some. They are far away from the rat race! Great!
But,also far away from the family – kids and mate! Oy!
One can always take a different approach and throw the family on the golf cart and make a fun day for all.
Maybe that’s not a golf players ideal day. But it’s great family bonding.
Again, some may opt for a compromise and they only play nine holes.
Or better yet, train the fam to love golf too.
Ultimately, It’s like this-
One can be “single” and have all the time in the world to play golf.
OR
One can be committed to someone and take all the time in the world to play golf.
HOWEVER, in that case they’re being “single minded” and not thinking enough about the repercussions to them and the others.
Golf is a game where you want to beat your last score. Well, guess what? So is life!
You don’t just hit the ball in golf and not worry where it lands.
That can get you into
hot water, major traps, or wondering in a confusing maze.
You need to think before you act. That is the way to be successful out on the golf course.
WELL -so too in the course of life ….
One must decide :
Do they want to wind up in hot water?
Do they want to get caught in major traps?
Or
Do they want to wonder around confused as to where they are and their relationship stands?!
So before venturing out for the day ….surmise your last performance as a dedicated mate and parent!
