Obsession

My obsession beyond the very need to be on a golf course is excellence.

Aristotle said: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle was right.

If you practice what you strive to be, without the disillusions of false pretenses,

you are likely to succeed.

I'm an idealist to a fault.

With idealism comes the desire for perfection.

Perfection, in turn, is intermingled with excellence.

For some, perfection and excellence are words of fantasy.

I have been on many occasions disappointed -

By myself, for wanting more than I am capable of.

By others, for seeing they are not giving their utmost.
