In 1985, the twenty-fifth British Open, the final round of the tournament to the seventeenth hole, David Ayton is still five strokes ahead of the second-place players, to win the championship seems to be no suspense. Unexpectedly, attacking the par-four seventeenth hole, Ayton paid eleven strokes. In the end, Bob Martin took the honor of the championship away from Ayton in a hard-fought battle.
The one who can overcome others is powerful, and the one who can overcome himself is strong.
The one who can overcome himself is the strong one. The biggest difference between golf and other sports is that there is no direct opponent, it relies entirely on individual competitive play to create results and surpass oneself. It is a silent competition with oneself, all the efforts are not to defeat others, but to defeat oneself.
Golf is like a microcosm of life. A game of 18 holes, each hole represents a small goal in life: health, wealth, emotion ...... The fact that people continue to conquer hole after hole is like accomplishing one small goal after another in life. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery around you, but you may also be faced with a mountainous terrain.
In the face of difficult problems, in addition to having the basic qualities and skills, a good mindset and strong will is particularly important. Golf provides an opportunity for people to train themselves, and in the process we will gradually recognize and understand ourselves, and become more calm, focused, rational and courageous.
