Tee Up Your Speech: Golf is Like Public Speaking
Tip #28
Have a
sense of humor.
Laughter can get you through the most
difficult moments.
In golf, so much can go wrong!
Sometimes you need to simply laugh
about it. Golf is supposed to be fun, isn't
it? When we take ourselves too
seriously, we lose the joy of playing. Of course, there are times we may need to be more serious than
others. Capture those fun moments; it might keep you playing golf longer!
For public speaking, whether live or recorded, issues happen! You come across as more
authentic if you respond naturally and then move on. Nobody is perfect and sometimes that helps
the audience see that you are human. If you laugh, it will make the audience more comfortable in
an awkward moment.
