Raising Resilience Episode 10: Golf + Resilience

Raising Resilience

In this episode of Raising Resilience, we are going to talk golf and resilience. It is a topic near and dear to my heart as a relatively new golfer, but one who has embraced the challenge and seen the similarities between my training in mindfulness and meditation the game of golf. Golf guru Jim Flick one said, “Golf is 90 percent mental, and the other 10 percent is ….mental”. The game of golf and the golf course can be an intimidating environment for many women, especially for those who did not learn to play golf as young girls. That is why I find Lynn Cotter’s online presence such a welcome, encouraging voice for women and girls navigating the game of golf with confidence and….resilience.
