Happy Birthday!
Taurus

The TAURUS Golf Personality

Ruled by Venus, Taurus golfers are methodical and tenacious, possessing the ability to focus energy toward the realization of their goals. A tendency to be a bit stubborn works in their favor as they are persistent and get things done. On the course they almost never give up and the game isn't over till the last putt drops. They take special pleasure in luxurious surroundings and places, love to travel and usually seek the best places to play. Due to their powers of endurance, Taurus golfers make proficient practicers and you will find them on the lesson tee more often than not. Sometimes they would rather beat balls than play! Slow, careful and deliberate, the Taurus golfer does not like change and may be playing the same irons they so carefully purchased, (custom-fitted of course!) years ago. They eventually must learn the difference between caution and plain stubbornness in order to keep up with technology if they aspire to more distance and control.

The TAURUS Birthday Fore!Cast

As you celebrate another birthday take stock of one particularly annoying habit of yours that really gets you going while playing a round of golf. It could be something as simple as a slice, or something as complicated as a weight transfer while fully rotating the shoulders and finishing in the classic position, left elbow tucked, belt buckle facing the target. Whew! Whatever it is that bugs you this is the time to take a step back and observe what your fellow players may see – if you can deal with it! Don't allow yourself to get any older while remaining in denial about certain aspects of your game that give you pause. The stars indicate improvements in the area of your short game but there is work ahead. Vow, if only to yourself, that this year will be the year that you actually fix something in your swing—then go out and do it! Read Par's complete 2004 Taurus Fore!Cast >
