In any event, the doing seems to be the more powerful spiritual
experience than the listening with respect to music. Listening to or
watching golf, or any sport, has never been much of a spiritual
experience for me in any event. I don't know the physiology of what
music connects to in us, but it does something to drive away the
blues, and playing is a far more effective experience than listening.
In the end, it seems to me that whatever connects via music to drive
away the blues also connects when I play golf, at least for me. The
venue doesn't matter. So dare I take a mandolin or something like that
to the golf course...maybe I could just sing? "I'm Tore Down" would be
a good golfing song!
Good post. I've certainly enjoyed times like you described on the course,
by myself with nobody around, hitting one or two balls per hole, and most
importantly, enjoying the blue sky and green grass. I think a well rounded
person needs these times and it can come from a variety of
sources....gardening, golfing, car restoration, etc. For me lately, boating
has been my oasis. Last Saturday night, my wife and I parked near the
shipping channel and observed two huge freighters go right by us, 50 yards
away. After that, we were left with the sounds of the night and a beautiful
sky while we slowly drifted down the Columbia River. Experiences that just
leaves me raring to go Monday mornings.
