Terry Bradshaw made a quote just before playing the Dallas Cowboys for the Super Bowl. Hollywood Henderson, of the Dallas Cowboys said, “Bradshaw couldn’t spell CAT if you spotted him the C and the T.” Bradshaw just laughed and said prophetically, ”who said you have to be a PHD to be a winning quarterback?”
Guess what QB never lost a Super Bowl because he had fun, great eye skills to see the whole field, put the ball on the money to his recievers (one where he was knocked unconscious to Lynn Swann) and called his own plays? Seeing the big picture can be trained or you might be born with it, you play by feel or subconscious, trust it and do it. When I learned the game I watched Arnold Palmer who played with passion, was peripheral and had fun.
The teachers and sports psychologists load up players to be heavy thinkers so they lose their “feel” or big picture to play their best. If you are not having fun then you can’t see the big picture, your doing it wrong and it makes you tight plus you don’t trust your soul or intuition and instincts. The child can’t come out to play.
The Phoenix Thunderbirds knew this when they invented the famous 16th hole at TPC Scottdale — the stadium hole. When you are laughing and having fun your blinders are out, you see easy, trust what you see, feel it (subconscious or automatic) and do it to true potential. Make golf a game again. It ain’t “rocket science” or as Terry Bradshaw probably would say, ”’Who says you have to have a high IQ or expert to be a great golfer?” Golf is a game, you are supposed to have fun.

Two years after the last U.S. Soldier left Iraq, we have only begun the debate over whether the war was “worth it.” That argument was a subtextt of last week's Senate hearing on Chuck Hagel's fitness to serve as Defense Secretary. The truth, history will require many years to make a full cost-benefit analysis of the U.S.'s invasion and long, bloody occupation. But the cost did not end with the 4,487 Americans killed, the 32,223 wounded, the $1trillion spent, and the more than 100,000 Iraqis killed. About 228,800 Iraq and Afghanistan vets have been officially diagnosed with PTSD, in another 100,000 are estimated to have this disorder. Only rarely do these invisible wounded soldiers act violently; most wrestle privately with their demons, drink, rage at family members, unravel.” Moral injury,” clinicians are now calling the root of their anguish: a haunting feeling of shame and guilt for witnessing, and participating in, so much death and horror. When calculating weather the next war is worth it, let's not forget we've learned of war's consequences, including what it does to the casualties who come home.
