Saw another thing today... about golf.... and life...

As I stepped up to the first tee today... I realized another parallel to life... the moment I would take that first swing... I had no clue what would follow... what would happen next... none whatsoever...

Would the ball fly straight...?  maybe hook left... even bounce out of bounds... or fade to the right maybe under a tree or right behind one?  Then what? What is next?

No matter how much I practice... how much I prepare... what new club I want to try... the  latest golf ball sensation I place on that tee... it doesn't matter... I have no idea what comes next.... I simply need to deal with the things that do actually happen... Isn't that life too?

What's next... what's just around the corner... plan your work and work your plan... does it really matter?  Do things ever go the way we actually plan them...? Come on... one phone call and my whole day can change in an instant... it's called life... life happens... all the time... all around us...

One might just start getting the idea that we really aren't in control of anything... hmmmm?
