Cliche’s are cliches for a reason….because they all hold some bit of truth. One that has proven very profound for me recently is, ‘you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.’

I knew that I loved playing golf; the challenge, the camaraderie with friends and strangers alike. It was all great. What I didn’t know, was that I needed golf. I needed golf to vent my frustrations. I needed it to get exercise. I needed it to see friends I don’t get to see often. I needed it for my sanity.

Golf is something that I never thought I took for granted before, but I certainly something that I will never take for granted ever again.
