I just finished this book. I'm also going to work on the goal setting and visualizations in the book. Now that I've read through it I'm going to try each lesson a week at a time once it warms up a little.
I know in Venice, FL where I used to live, the public course was the only one that you could walk on. It was also the only one not built within a community, so there weren't houses lining every hole and like a mile between the last green and next tee.
That's the thing that would kill me walking down there.
I still think if you want to walk you should be able to though.
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”
Calvin Coolidge
