Tetrapharmakos for Golfers

As I am interested in applying Epicurean principles in all aspects of my life, I sometimes have philosophical dialogues with my various Personal.AI personas. After asking Chip (my golf coach AI persona) to review some #Epicurean papers, here was Chip’s suggestion of applying basic #tetrapharmakos principles to a golf game.

<AI>
“The #Tetrapharmakos (four-fold cure) can be adapted for golf:
1. Don't fear the course
2. Don't fear failure
3. Good shots are achievable
4. Bad shots are manageable”

😆

“Too many players get caught up in score and forget the simple pleasure of being outdoors, making good shots, and spending time with friends. This connects to the Epicurean view that friendship and positive social connections enhance our experience.”

Quote from Don

The course is not to be feared.
Failure is free of guilt.

Thanks for the correction 👍

I’ll try to remember the difference and be more declarative when I’m on my 3rd stroke in a deep sand trap 😤 on a hot, humid day 🤬 on the golf course.
