Golf lessons delay the lasting gratification of self-discovery. For decades, our culture trained us to pursue immediate gratification. Today, I\u2019ll use the Open Stance and Modern Instruction to bookend our philosophical conversation on the topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain accompanying delayed gratification manifests in impatience and intolerance for any gradual process, like learning. Hence, masses of people live in their subconscious dream-world rather than the harsh reality of personal responsibility. Golfers are no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impressionable minds prefer others tell them what to think rather than cultivate their own opinion through discussion or civil argument. They are happier with the bread-and-circus of identity politics, socialism, and Hollywood morality. It\u2019s really quite Orwellian. If you have not read 1984, their\u2019s is a submission to group-think. Like hamsters at the feeding tube – waiting for the next elite morsel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russel Brand, whom I believe is a formidable intellect, interviewed my man Jordan Peterson last year. Their discussion turned to individual identity and responsibility. He argued we received a little consciousness in The Garden of Eden as a consequence of choosing immediate gratification over discipline. Eve\u2019s and Adam\u2019s lack of discipline, and their associated pursuit of ease, was enough to ruin their blissful existence. Whether or not your subscribe to the allusion, the fact that we need discipline to be happy, is universal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
