Albatross Alert!

This little local website out of Montgomery, Alabama may not be much in the style department but what they were reporting on sure made me smile!

What would normally be considered a 6 MILLION TO ONE odds shot for DOUBLE-EAGLE has occurred (WHOOT!), as well as 3 more hole-in-one’s over the past Easter long weekend.

Who’s going to email us this year to take credit on your amazing shot? Can we see that in Toronto this year, please? (I like pictures! …please, with your clothes on!)

Well, here is the entire commercial…straight from Gatorade!  Tiger and Gatorade have partnered to create Gatorade Tiger.  You knew it was coming sooner or later.

A New Earth; A New Golf Game

Mar 23, 2008 @ 10:44 am by Yoga For Golfers

My experience, reading Ekhart Tolle’s “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” has been like an argument FOR a whole mind-body approach to Golf performance training:

We all know if there are hundreds, if not thousands, of products that can claim to have a dramatic improvement on your game, then probably all of them work to some extent and none of them would work very well if you did nothing else other than use that one product.

As much experience as I thought I had from training your mind for golf through yoga, I implemented a very important mental change shift recently that has resulted in some unbelievable physical improvements. One of the things I’ve come to realize is that whenever I step on the golf course, up to the tee (or anywhere, for that matter) my body is being physically limited by the burden of emotional/mental weight I am holding on to.

Even though I hope most people would see me as a generally happy person, I’ve realized it really is easy to ‘put on a happy face’ to cover up my ego taking over. Some of it is really old sadness & fear from my childhood and some of it is old pain from injuries (still with emotional links, I am sure) and some of it is pain from fear of my future. No different from you, I know.

All of that, I have decided to LET GO, like the ANCHOR I am cutting, now I can float to the surface and live life without resistance. When I look back, I have been able to achieve anything I ever put my mind to, but I have to wonder – how much of a STRUGGLE was it to achieve? Do I HAVE to struggle to achieve? Can’t I just open my arms and my heart and WELCOME love, happiness, health and abundance into my life?

What will this do to my yoga practice? So far, I am seeing amazing changes – emotionally, I am more confident to just try new poses, even if I don’t think I’m physically ready for them, just trying the pose is a LOT of fun and stretches me emotionally & physically at the same time. Following an amazing chiropractic adjustment at Vita Integrated Health Clinic on Wednesday, I felt like I was FINALLY able to access the benefit of all the yoga over the years — I have NEVER experienced my body so balanced, stable, strong, flexible, mobile, functioning at 100% of all major systems… it was euphoric. I can hardly wait to see how this will benefit my golf game!

Even though I know I started this process of change years ago, I can see it has been picking up speed & intensity in the past six months and what started as a simple holiday project “purge my apartment of junk” has turned into an amazing change of life – I would use the term “flowering”, but don’t want to scare off any of you alpha-males out there.

I don’t think anyone would experience the exact same things as I have with this book, but I would like to know what anyone else thinks if you’ve read it, or even if you haven’t (your significant other, sibling or friend probably has chatted about it). Also, I enjoyed this book SO much I have purchased an additional 5 copies to put out there, one of which I’ll send for free to someone who posts a comment

I can’t WAIT for this golf season to start!! SO EXCITED!!!!!

The Perfect Golfer

Mar 18, 2008 @ 01:40 pm by Nigel Da Costa

If you had to choose the perfect golfer you would obviously choose Tiger.  But what if you had to take a single trait from today’s golfers to build a super-golfer?  ESPN did just this…the best traits of all current golfers were taken to build their perfect golfer. A Perfect male and female golfer was build.

The best male and female golfers of our time are Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam. Which traits were chosen from these great players??? Mental Toughness! What has made these players as great as they are is their ability to focus on nothing but winning tournaments despite the enormous pressure they face each week.

Check it out, The Perfect Golfer is a great feature when you have some time to kill.
