To anyone who has just discovered my blog, welcome! For the first time since I started this blog I have put it out there and told people about it which is incredibly scary... and I didn't realize how vulnerable I would feel after doing it. I just finished my website tonight and I have posted it on all my social media accounts, and I have a link on there to this blog so people can follow along and read my thoughts, but I forgot that my blog isn't even really about my golf, I tend to write about my thoughts and feelings and my life. It scares me a lot, but I also feel like I am a completely open book now. That's something that I feel is so important for people to feel in their lives. I think many of us put up so many walls and we may feel like we're living life, but in reality there are many parts of us that are hidden and that can really affect the person you want to become.
What also scares me is the fact that I have put all my golf scores out there for all my friends and family to see, and I haven't been playing my best recently so part of me is embarrassed because I'm supposed to be a professional golfer, yet I'm still shooting high scores. But here's the thing: no one really knows what I go through on a daily basis; no one understands how much work I put in; and no one understands how much more pressure there is at the professional level. At the end of the day I have to be proud of what I'm doing and I have to love what I'm doing so although my scores aren't the greatest, my scores don't define me, and I continue to battle with that, but I'm getting better each day.
So to everyone that's new, thank you for checking out my blog! And for anyone who is still curious go check out my website :) http://www.jelsholz.com/
