Will Smith on Golf...

Now I dont like Will Smith, but I think he has put perfectly into words what is so great about Golf.

~~~~~~~~
this is from an interview where he is talking about one of his movies "The Legend of Bagger Vance". Great golf movie which teaches you a lot about leadership and dedication !

Did you discover what is seductive about such a weird game?

WILL: What's great about golf is that it's the most difficult thing that you will ever do in your life. There's nothing you can do, there's no sport you can play, that is harder than golf. It's impossible.
At the same time, I could take any non-golfer to a golf course right now, and give them a hundred balls. And they could hit one ball that Tiger Woods can't beat. You could hit one shot that Tiger Woods could hit a thousand balls, and never beat it, you know? And it's that shot that you chase for the rest of your life. That one shot, that one taste of greatness. That one taste of perfection and excellence. And there's no other sport that's like that.
You will never dunk on Michael Jordan, period. Period. You're not gonna dunk on Mike. It's not happening. And you will never tackle Emmett Smith. He's gonna run over you. It's not gonna happen.
Golf is the only sport where you can be the best in the world for one fleeting moment. You can hit the best shot. Like I made a hole in one about a year ago. There's no way to beat that. Tiger can't beat that shot. He could have a thousand balls, and he'll never beat that shot. So I was the best in the world for that one second.

~~~~~~~~~~
The perfect shot not just looks good, but sounds and feels good ! When you hit the ball well, you just know it and man, I rarely smile like that.

Thats golf...you fall in love with it !

A post on motivational movies coming soon...
