Why do you play golf? What do you enjoy most about the game?

Below is a quadrant. It isn’t perfect. It isn’t complete. But looking at the axis, and thinking about what you want to get out of the game of golf, where would you sit? 

Don’t let the winter close in on you. Don’t let it slow you down with joints and muscles not exercised. Don’t let it deprive you of friendships and fun. Find time for an extra 9 each week.

And if any part of your answer includes an emphasis on the personal challenge, then find time to get better. The winter doesn’t have to be about stagnation. It can be the time to use to make next year better.
