Prelude Becoming a real player is about approaching the game in an enjoyable, purposeful, and performance- oriented way.  It’s about truly experiencing a game worth playing for a lifetime.  It’s about playing the game you imagine in your dreams.  It’s about enjoying the whole experience that 18 holes of golf has to offer.  It’s about playing a game, a game called G-O-L-FTM.   I like to think of it as: Gaming Out Life’s Fascinations. This book recommends an approach in that will establish the foundation needed to play G-O-L-FTM.   The longer you stick with the approach, the less you will think about the procedures and the more your foundation will manifest itself in your play.  At which point you can focus all your attention on playing G-O-L-FTM. By the end of this journey it is my hope you will be more prepared to engage in the experiences that keep you fascinated with the game.

Let’s Play G-O-L-F TM Playing for a target score is only one way of implementing an on course strategy.  I believe to truly play the game you cannot worry so much about your scoring strategy.  I think everyone is aware of how well they are scoring, and they know they need to score as low as they can.  So, since the idea of scoring is always present you do not need to focus on it.  Instead, focus on playing the game. Truly playing the game involves feeling a game that fascinates you.  It involves striving to play the type of game you usually dream of playing.  It’s about finding out your potential and manifesting it in your play.  It’s about engaging yourself in the ongoing drama of sport.  It’s about absorbing yourself into the possibility of expressing your true potential.   It’s about Gaming Out Life’s Fascinations. So, when you walk out on the golf course, I’m inviting you to take the plunge, to go for it.  I’m inviting you to play golf without putting so much emphasis on scoring low.  Win or lose, score low or high, enjoy the adventure, keep a good attitude, and take something away from every round that makes you a more accomplished golfer.
