Tee off to a year full of golf!

There are few things in life that an

ardent golfer enjoys more than
being out on the green on a bright
sunny morning. There is a thrill of
anticipation as fellow golfers
gather around for a game and as
pleasantries are exchanged, they
turn into friendly competitors with
a childlike demeanor. Determined
to make the best of the day and
enjoy the calm, gentle undulation
of the green, where bonds are
forged, laughter shared and stress
is gone with the wind. As the
game progresses, the players are
immersed in the moment. Lost in
the magic of the game... And at
the end of it all, there is the warm
and inviting 19th hole, where toasts
are raised to celebrate the special
bond among golfers and a very
special game called Golf.

That takes my mind off the outcome of the shot and keeps me
