Next week I disembark with 35 other guys on my annual Cape Cod golf outing. Casino and other responsibilites have drastically limited my number of rounds this year so I'm not holding out too much hope for playing well.
We'll be playing Bass River, Bayberry Hills (twice), Ballymeade (one of my personal favorites) and Cape Cod Country Club.
Success in golf often comes from confidence, as do many other things I suppose.
One thing frequently preached about golf is being committed. As in, be committed to the shot and your club selection. Good golfers know they can hit the shot they want and are therefore committed to executing it. Bad golfers are not and often think of what might happen if they hit a bad shot. Good golfers are also committed to club selection. They know the club in their hand is the correct one wherein perhaps bad golfers are not.
Commitment reminds me of an old coaching phrase (which I recently heard on the radio). The phrase is "Be Committed". Simple, huh? But they break it down further. "Say you have a bacon and egg breakfast. Sure, the chicken was involved. But the pig was committed. Be the pig!"
So next week, can I be the pig?

Hope you won't get too much rain on this adventure sir. Good luck getting in your quest to be the pig.
Best wishes,
Skeeter
Weather looks ok, thanks. Coolish with chance of showers on Friday, but didn't look like too big a deal.
But the pig dies. That would make me sad.
Hope you have a great time!
