      • The paths we take in life can be similar to the lines we take in disc golf
        • The safe path is similar to working hard over a long period of time
        • High risk/High reward lines are similar to shortcutting the hard work
        • Flashy hyzer bomb lines to show off are like driving expensive cars or wearing designer clothes
        • We all likely bounce between these different extremes
        • How do you choose your lines?
          • Just wing it?  Is your disc golf game inconsistent? Do you treat every situation in life as an isolated event?
          • Choose a strategy and hold to that your entire round and most of your life?
          • Do you evaluate at each step along the way?
          • Go with what’s been working that round?
