Life as a Golf Game

I wonder if life moves from a state where time moves so slowly, to an awareness that life is slipping by, to a panic and race against time, to a making peace with time and mortality? I am just becoming aware of how fast time is slipping by and twinges of panic occur every once in a while.

I am reminded of the game of golf. Where once I was eager to get on to the next hole, I now savour each one. Focus and deliberation, a sense of fun and persistence, despite a bad stroke or three, and never giving up ... all good life lessons!
