Golf For The Soul
GOLF FOR THE SOUL
Freedom in golf is being in the moment where that moment has everything you need. All of you in your totality is functioning effortlessly. Strength is needed and it comes in. Power is needed and it’s available. Concentration is called for and you find yourself in complete focus. Lightness is needed and you feel joy. Calmness is needed and you feel still. Alertness is needed and you feel awake. Openness is needed and you feel aware. Compassion is needed and you feel kindness. Will is needed and you feel confident.
To actualize, develop and connect with these qualities in your soul not only makes golf an experience of freedom, but it also contributes to your development as a golfer and a person. Golf can then be a vehicle for self-realization and transformation.
When our functioning is empowered by presence there is an effortless ease. Whether it is the presence of strength, the presence of peace, or the presence of will, there is a flow and a harmony. All parts are unified. Our golf is free. Free to be whatever it is on any given day. We are free to actualize our fullest potential
What are the usual obstacles that keep us from accessing these qualities we all have but have lost touch with, and how do we regain them? This is the story of the souls journey home. Coming home on the golf course means working with the barriers and obstacles that hold you back while at the same time discovering your Essence. Many of these barriers are the same ones that show up in your day to day experiences; fear, lack of confidence, lack of energy, lack of strength, dissatisfaction, boredom, inadequacy, distraction, and rejection.
Experiencing, unveiling and discovering the corresponding qualities which come in to free us from these blocks brings freedom. On the way, we find as we transform, our golf transforms as well. The ball seems to connect with something greater than ourselves. We seem to connect with a source. A source that reveals and guides. Golf then becomes an experience of unimaginable beauty. A beauty which is expressed in our swing and in all of our movements. Of course our game does get optimized as well but, not from a place of striving or trying.
So how does this translate into the actual game itself? Take yourself back to some of the greatest players the world has ever seen. You will notice most have that special ineffable quality. You can actually sense their determination, their strength, their passion, their focus. What are you sensing? You are sensing their presence. It might be the presence of strength, the presence of will or the presence of passion. It is that presence that imbues their swing. It is that presence that makes a swing fluid, smooth and effortless.
Our golf schools name, “NO-ULTIMATES”, captures our perspective and view. There are no ultimates in golf. There is never an end to what you can realize and experience. There are no limits, no defining parameters and no end points. The game is never over. Golf has never divulged all of its secrets to anyone. Walking up to these secrets can be fun. When we are open to new possibilities there are unlimited discoveries to be made.
Whether you are a pro needing that competitive edge or a weekend player wanting to bring the joy back to your game, it is your own presence that will give you what you want and need. Waking up to your essence through golf is an exciting, fun and fulfilling adventure. We invite you to walk these fairways with us with this spirit of adventure and learn about your essence while at the same time actualizing your capacities to there greatest potential. Learning how to bring your attention to your body, to the moment, to the present and learning about the role of presence and how it naturally optimizes your game brings you the freedom and capacity to be all that you can be. When functioning is empowered by presence we have the possibility of entering into that mysterious zone where the secrets of golf can then be revealed and experienced.
