In golf and in life, putting too much pressure to win it all will leave you burned out and miserable. Have fun and enjoy yourself while you work on your goals.

In golf and in life, wallowing on your mistake is a waste of time. There’s no use crying over spilt milk, so move on and fix it.
- 5. 7 Life Lessons You Can Learn from Golf • There are things beyond your control – No matter how much you practice, golf will always come up with surprises that can change your game. Accept that some things are just beyond your control. The true caliber of a golfer is measured on how well he can adapt to situations. Do not focus on the negative, instead find a way to make things work for you.
- 6. 7 Life Lessons You Can Learn from Golf • Never stop learning – Golf involves continuous learning. Even the best player in the world has not perfected this game. Persist in improving your skills. Once you stop improving yourself, you start to rot. What’s great about golf is doing other activities can boost your golf skills. Yoga improves your flexibility and helps you with your swing. Meditation can silence your mind chatter. In life, school is not the end of learning. Life is full of learning opportunities – big and small, simple and complex. Heed them to foster your self-growth.

Honesty is an important factor of the game. An honest golfer never runs out of people to play it, meanwhile a cheater would eventually be kicked out of the group by his golf buddies.
- 8. 7 Life Lessons You Can Learn from Golf • Take risks – In golf and in life, sometimes you just have to take risks. If it works, then you can reap the benefits. If it doesn’t, then charge it to experience and learn something from it. Risks make life exciting and eventful. Success and glory can't be achieved by just doing the conventional. Take risks and get ahead of the game.
- 9. 7 Life Lessons You Can Learn from Golf • Bet on yourself – No matter how many supporters you have, if you do not believe in yourself you will not go anywhere. Betting on yourself is the best motivation you can have.
