Having been in the trees plenty of times, I totally identify with the safe shot back to the fairway. It doesn't have to be totally anodyne, though.
Looking at that image, I'd pull out the 6 iron and the hockey grip - don't try this at home, folks - and go for low, flat and controlled. It's not pretty but it's safe and keeps me going towards the pin.
So maybe there's a strong skill you have in an adjacent field which you can harness to maintain the forward momentum while taking down the risk factor a bit?
Hear hear! We all end up in the trees at some point 😊 more than once too 💖 maybe even sometimes in the water 😂. My golf experience is limited to jungle golf and happy gilmore.
Guru Breen. I've never thought about how great a listener he is, but he really is. I've always admired how considered his responses are. You can always tell that he listens to you entirely and considers his response deeply. That's how you know that he genuinely cares and wants to help. MORE SMOKE!
As always great read Benny. I'm not a great golfer per se but when I'm in those woods I tell myself it's not about the fear of losing a game but seeing the joy on other fellow players makes you happy. It's our choice how we make ourselves happy and no one can take that.

Thanks Sarah and I find it hard to believe you’ve ever done something as silly as me and wandered so far off course!
We all have, Ben.
That’s comforting to hear

He’s deserves more smoke doesn’t he!
He’s the best. He has a way of simplifying that we’ve made unnecessarily complicated for ourselves.

No they can’t!
Love this! Thanks for sharing Ben 💖💖
Great post Ben
Thanks mate. Wasn’t sent too early in the morning for all you west coast readers? 😂
Nah, it just means it's at the top of my inbox :)
Excellent insights, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Anthony
Keep after it Ben!
Will do Nate!
