In the spirit of further exploring my own feeble attempts at transparency – at living “naked”, as well as bringing clarity to the life-changing growth potential embedded in the game of golf, I’ve memorialized some of my personal exploits and unpacked the revelations and realizations brought my way courtesy of this wonderful game. Because it’s a game of infinite possibilities and endless hope, attempting to put a box or bow around anything related to golf (or life) is impossible. That being the case, I’ve attempted to bring some order to the chaos and gather lessons learned around themes, and framing each theme as a “hole”. Each “hole” to follow reflects a growth spurt in my life – an experience on the links that has led directly to a deeper understanding about who I am, who I’m not and life itself. The stories aren’t all that flattering, and some are down right embarrassing to share, but that’s the whole idea. My hope is that these stories will coax others to dive in and play along, and that doing so will prove to be as therapeutic for you as it’s been for me. You’ll grow. And hopefully you will share your stories and your life lessons with the rest of us – and as a result, you will experience the same laughter, tears and joy that i have through my reflections.
