I'm not a good golfer, but I had a lot of fun because it's the home of golf.

And Scotland is famous for its horrible weather when you're playing golf.

Among the horrible weather is fog.

And so we played one course one day, my wife and I, and it was super, super foggy.

And you couldn't see 40 feet in front of you.

And so we had a caddy, and he would say, just aim it that way.

And you're just hitting a ball off into oblivion.

You have no idea where it's going, none whatsoever.

And it was really, really, really a frustrating experience.

And then we went about three days later, it was foggy again, and we went to a different one.

And these people had taken bicycle seat lights that were strobes and put them on little posts about every 50 yards out through the fog.

And so you couldn't see the hole where you were hitting to, and you couldn't see really a lot of the nuance of the terrain that you were hitting into, but you could see one light blinking in the fog.

And so if you could hit the ball towards that light, you knew you were going to be okay.

And that changed the whole experience.

Exact same weather.

But it was nowhere near the frustration, even though it wasn't as enjoyable as being able to see the whole thing and place the ball where you wanted to place it.

But at least we had the sense that what we were doing was getting traction and it wasn't just a random freaking chaotic thing.

And so you land out there and then you could see the next light.

and get up onto the green and then you got a whole different process.

So the point of that is that having a clear path in anything gives you a huge hope and energy and belief to move forward.
