Golf is a life and sport treasure chest! As one who has been fascinated by the game’s riches, it has been rewarding to occasionally take a “bird’s eye view” of the sport’s offerings and make a current reality assessment of the game’s opportunities and challenges: What more can I learn about the game? What will genuinely contribute to more enjoyment of the game? What will facilitate preparation for peak performance? What can enable being trained to self-coach? To “jump start” an assessment, a Game Reflection Menu follows.
