I'm not a golfer but I am impressed by an amazing analogy between golf and risk taking.  Some golfers endlessly swing the golf club as if to prepare for the perfect hit, while others take aim, take one swing and hit the ball without hesitation.  Life is not like golf, where the golf ball is always there to be swung at.  The golf ball of life disappears if one takes too long swinging!  So, take aim and take a swing - whether you actually hit the ball that first swing is insignificant!
