Peak Experience

Ah, the joys of playing Buffalo Peak Golf Course in Union. For one, the view from the heights is among the finest views in Oregon. Thursday evening cloud formations were playing the game Battleship in the sky. Playing partner Ernie and I kept one eye on our games and another eye on the sky show.

Golf reinforces the notion that play is good for the soul. As the "Younger Next Year" authors contend, play is one of mammals' finest achievements and we should do it whenever we can.

Of course, as the stress book says, we need to do our work first. Then play becomes a reward for a job well done. Whether we get a birdie on the golf course is immaterial. The main thing is we are out there, having a blast.
