1st Tee Stories
In a game where there are lots of variables involved, it's comforting to know the fundamentals in golf remain unchanged.
My Coach, Noah Montgomery has always said, “stay in the present,” simple but very impactful. Staying present in the moment means not getting ahead of yourself as well as dwelling on the past, which are both easy to do during 5 hour rounds of golf.
Being realistic and honest about where your game currently is and what you're willing to do is most of the battle. Trusting the process and staying grounded will most definitely aid all golfers in improving their games.
Noah has quickly separated himself as a Golf Instructor in a very short amount of time. Someone could call it luck, but the people who are close to him, know it's nothing short of just plain hard work, and determination.
Sports photographers are another group within the golf industry that are tremendously overlooked. Instagram has surely changed the game of photography. You see all these high quality photographs, but it seems no one quite understands the work or thanks the persons behind the camera lens. Contrary to belief, there is more to photography than snapping a few photos. I had the privilege of talking with Mr. Heathcote, who is a Getty Images Sports Photographer.
