I have just added the stumbleupon.com bar to my explorer page and was just randomly going through the golf pages to see what is out there and where it would take me.
It lead me to the www.pgatour.com website. On the video it was playing the shots of the week and it reminded me of one of Bob Rotella's ten commandments - Play to play great.
It didn't so much get me thinking, but it got me contemplating why I play the game. I went through the usual list of reasons such as the score, the friendship, the fun, but quite possibly the biggest reason that I play is for those shots. Those shots that would make the Shot of the week, those shots that keep you coming back for more.
To be able to say that I hit that shot makes me feel really good. No matter what you shoot for the round, there is always one shot that you hit. It may be a smoked drive, a stiffed iron, a mammoth putt across the Himalayas, a holed bunker shot, a chip in or something else.
Play for those shots. Play to be the one that is hitting the shots of the week and see how good it makes you feel. That is why you spend the hours practicing on your living room carpet and why you practice in the middle of winter. It is not to shoot level par, although that is nice.
It is to hit those shots that stay with you forever!
