Love to Golf!

Golf is a game of many emotions. It will demand your complete focus for 4-6 hours. It will test your problem solving skills. Golf can define ones character. Golf quite frankly has helped shape me into the person I am today. It helps me identify my areas of opportunity and how I go about addressing those challenges. It can be so rewarding in so many ways you just have to commit and broaden your perspective! I love everything about Golf!
