Valencia Country Club

Great day of golf at Valencia Country Club. I shot 75 with another ball in the water on hole 15. I guess I will have to go back to GolfTEC for some more lessons. Need that swing to hold up under pressure.

Fear of Monday & Golf

The first day of the week creates fear just like in golf. Fear is a major component in every shot for every golfer, from the experienced to the beginner. Many of us develop more intense fear as the game becomes more difficult and our desire to win escalates.

I asked myself what would happen if I settled into a shot, then looked up and imagined a different hole, ignoring the voluminous water that was ready to swallow up my ball. The idea of being able to handle my fear by a simple switch in perceptive was fascinating.

It is Monday and there are so many things to do on the task list as a CEO of three companies GolfTEC SoCal, Fairway Vacations and MyGolfPeople. This brings up apprehension and fear of failure. Can I get this done? What happens if I don’t get back to that person? Am I going to hit that constantly moving budget? How am I going to make my house payment?

Take a deep breath and change your mindset from fear to accomplishment. The only way to do this is to look at each item as stand-alone tasks. Just like in golf. If you focus on one shot at a time, the overall pressure disappears. It is only when you fret about being on the 6^th hole with 12 more to go that we feel the fear of performance.

This change in perspective will not happen overnight. When we experience fear, this can be a great place to learn unique ways to overcome it.  One shot at a time.

American Dream

If the economy stay bad for a few more years. Maybe can shift our thinking to where success can be measured in ways other than relentless acquisition. Certainly you’d have less stress if you weren’t lying awake at night wondering how to pay for all that stuff. Golf is a great departure from the grind of the day. Playing more golf can relax your mind and create a focus on what matters or golfing friends and our own mental sanity. For lessons go to GolfTEC. For golf travel go to Fairwayvacations and for social networking around golf go to MyGolfPeople.

Palm Springs with Fairway Vacations

This was a great trip and most of these guys went to Scotland with us. It was a great time and we brought along one of our Certified Golf Coaches from GolfTEC - Joe Dougherty.

Playing Golf for Business

In today’s market-driven economy, we are so bombarded with messages, print, TV, radio, theater, the Internet, direct mail, telemarketing, email blast, that the only one that will get your attention is one that engages the human spirit. Golf does this. Corporate hospitality events are focusing less on trappings and more on the sport of golf itself.  One example of this is a golf-instruction school geared toward business entertaining at GolfTEC Improvement Centers. Now, you no longer have to suffer the indignity of revealing a feeble backswing to a class full of strangers. Instead, you get to share your experience learning with a GolfTEC Certified Coach with partners, clients, and suppliers, who are more likely to commiserate.

The new economy in Southern California means each and every dollar must be spent strategically. Many corporations and professional service firms are finding that golf entertaining creates results and is affordable to any marketing budget. Click here for photos.

This is a new way for the business person to capture the attention of the people they are trying to impress. The game of golf is synonymous with big business. Golf instruction and travel with a custom Palm Springs trip through Fairway Vacations can be a vehicle to help companies introduce products, maintain existing customers, go after new ones, or reward their best. There is nothing like this experience.
