How philosophically sexy is golf?
Some sports, like martial arts and surfing, are clearly philosophical, but golf is next level. A sport where you ultimately play yourself, striving for the perfect game, even when you know it’s impossible to achieve.
Golf is a metaphor for life, with the pressure of decisions which can change things in a heartbeat and the uncertainty as conditions continually change. Where the journey matters more than the destination, full of successes and failures.
And any golfer will tell you that being in the moment, being present, being free of the past and the future, is essential to hitting the ball well.
The importance of mindfulness was also realised 1400 years ago by a sexy Nepalese Prince, Siddhartha Guatama. In a moment of enlightenment he understood, among other things, how important mindfulness was to learn about himself and the world.
We’ve all heard of Guatama, but mostly under the name given to him centuries later, the ‘Buddha’.
Buddhism is about realising the true nature of things by escaping the distractions of the world around us.
For Buddhists, obsessing about the past and future fuels thoughts and emotions which run away from us with distressing results, so being in the moment gives a grounded perspective from where we can better control these forces, and in turn, learn compassion for the challenges of others.
Mindfulness is at the foundation of our connectedness with each other, and that’s why finding peace and clarity on the golf course means we should also be a better fuck in the bedroom. 
Overcoming the distractions of our busy lives to focus solely on the pleasure of our partner is essential for good sex, but both golfers and Buddhists agree this doesn’t come easily.
Mindfulness requires practice.
Therefore, if you find yourself being a distracted fuck, don’t let the experience worry and fuel further negative thoughts and feelings.
Instead, try again.
Focus on freeing yourself from the past and future and enjoy the sublime shared experience of fucking each other.
