Veterans Learn To Move Again — Through Golf

by MarciDiehl.com

I said when I first started this blog that golf had given me many things, though I’ve never played.  It’s led me to places I never dreamed I’d go (Japan would be one of them). It’s taught me lessons on perseverance and helped me hone great people skills. It’s led me to people — so [...]

Golf, Life — It’s All About Attention

by MarciDiehl.com

The small act of paying attention can take you a long way. – Keanu Reeves It might seem as though I haven’t been paying attention to this blog.  Months have gone by and I haven’t posted at all.  What’s my problem? It hasn’t been for lack of attention. I’ve been thinking about this blog all [...]

What Not To Tell a Player At the Masters

by MarciDiehl.com

2010 at the Masters – photo by Ryan Ballangee @waggleroom My second visit to the Masters was more of a brush-by.  But it became a family legend. By 1978, TJ was climbing his way up the money list and showing an impressive flair for performing in majors. We were not yet out of our 20’s, [...]

Masters 1975 – A Cinderella story

by MarciDiehl.com

Yes, I’ve been to The Masters. Twice. Let me qualify that. I’ve been to Augusta National and actually walked the course and followed TJ once. That was his first Masters in 1975.  The second time, in 1977, I was there the week before the Masters started. TJ was playing for the second time — but [...]

The Only Way Out (Is Through)

by MarciDiehl.com

It may seem as if I abandoned this blog. If you thought that, I don’t blame you. But I haven’t. I’ve just been “going through.” One of my favorite sayings — a mantra for me — came from the incredibly awful ’80’s movie Flash Gordon. The King of the Tree People (played by Timothy Dalton) [...]

Let It Fly

by MarciDiehl.com

So I was on Twitter this morning, as I am most weekdays (hey, it’s business) and I was reading the usual motivational, uplifting, positive, inspiring thoughts and quotes that normally fill up my stream. This is because I follow a lot of great people… positive, passionate people… professionals and many entrepreneurs… all sort of preaching [...]

Golf at Midnight and Other Marvels

Where in the world is the golf course pictured here? It’s Kauri Cliffs in New Zealand. Kauri Cliffs is just one of the 60-odd golf courses that I had to choose from for a guest post on travel writer Andy Hayes‘ blog Sharing Experiences. You can read about 11 of the World’s Most Inspiring Golf [...]

Why I Didn’t See Hazeltine

by MarciDiehl.com

I got a call today from my ex-mother-in-law. That in itself is a milestone, but on top of it she and my former father-in-law want to take me out to lunch this week. That’s nice, you say. What’s it got to do with anything? Coincidentally, everyone’s focused on Hazeltine Golf Club in Minnesota right now, [...]

Courses With Impact

Extreme 19th play off hole in South Africa Be careful what you ask for. Especially if you ask for it on Peter Shankman’s media site HARO (HelpAReporterOut). Earlier in the month, I put up a query on HARO asking for suggestions for “The World’s Most Inspiring Golf Courses” for a guest blog post I’m writing [...]

Let It Happen

by MarciDiehl.com

Sometimes, the hardest thing in golf — or life — is to Let It Happen. This is one of my main principles in Changing Your Grip. As a presentation, this nugget was one of my top five.  Of course, it’s also a gem from golf itself. Performance psychologists refer to top players, athletes, speakers, competitors, [...]
