I realized that I have a lot more compassion and a lot more respect for people who play on the PGA tour, people who play golf for a living. It's a grueling sport.
Picture this: you're the oldest player in an amateur golf tournament, surrounded by younger competitors who are their own harshest critics. In this episode, Michael Stoller shares his unique experience from the final round of the tournament. He didn't have the day he hoped for, but what he gained was far more valuable—lessons in emotional sobriety and self-compassion. Michael observed how the younger golfers were often self-absorbed and unkind to themselves, which got him thinking about his own journey.
How do you stay emotionally balanced in a high-pressure environment? How do you maintain your serenity when things don’t go as planned? These are the questions Michael grapples with as he reflects on his day on the golf course. Through his candid narrative, Michael offers a fresh perspective on competition, ageism, and sportsmanship. He also sheds light on the mental and physical stamina required to play golf at any level.
His insights aren't just for golfers; they're for anyone looking to navigate life's challenges with a bit more grace and self-kindness. Join Michael in this engaging episode as he turns a frustrating day into a learning experience. Whether you're a golf enthusiast or someone striving for emotional sobriety, there's something here for you.
