How does golf improve your personal and professional life?
I love golf for many reasons. It's not just because of the social side, the exercise, the fresh air, the mental health benefits. Over the past 4 years I've started to realise that golf a great source of insights and analogies on how to approach life in general. Examples listed below. Blog series pending. 😉
- Roadmaps and goal setting: short-term (next shot); intermediate(current hole); long-term (round).
- Don't change too much at once. Make small, incremental improvements.
- Work on maintaining change. We all have natural tendencies we revert back to.
- Practice! This is not The Matrix. We can't all just 'know kung fu'!
- Feedback: Use data; video your swing; get a lesson.
- We make mistakes. Bad shots happen. It's about how we react and what we do next.
- Imposter syndrome: Everyone else isn't the perfect golfer. They don't watch and judge you. They're too busy struggling with their own game. Laugh about it and work together to get better.
- The list goes on...
Cheadle Golf Club is friendly, relaxed, and promises to be in great condition for the coming summer months. Loads of facilities available for team building, meetings, functions, etc. See Cheadle Golf Club's About page for more details.
And anyone who wants to join me for 9 holes, just let me know. We can play for 10p a hole. 😎🤑

🔦 Member Spotlight: Paul Mellor 🔦
Our next golfing spotlight shines on one of the coolest kids in the club, Paul Mellor, our current Men’s Champion.
Not many people are cool enough to wear a cap back to front, but Paul definitely is, along with Jürgen Klopp.
Observing a strict shorts policy between April and October, we are treated to the sight of Paul’s legs for the entire golfing season, whatever the weather!
Paul’s laid back, supportive playing style makes him an ideal partner but he is currently spoken for on (and off) the course, so form an orderly queue.
Paul’s perfect day off work is to play 9 holes, then take lunch on the terrace with a good book – living the dream.
Thank you Paul for taking part – wishing you a successful year at Cheadle Golf Club!
