It's absurd but even here, alone and unobserved, I really want to do well. That second shot, the misjudged pitch, irritated me. Already I am erecting targets, expectations, aspirations. Though this is just an exploratory round on a sort of golf course, and no one's watching, I've already invested in outcomes. And that, sure as golf is golf, will bring frustration and disappointment.
Call it human nature. Call it the karmic wheel, the hoop of fire, attachment, the source of suffering. Or just call it Golf.
