In Golf and With Finance Trust is Crucial

Hey guys Douglass Ergood here, I’m a former division one golfer at UNC, now I’m a Financial Advisor with Ergood Wealth Management at Janney. Welcome back to teeing up your finances! The hardest thing to do in life and in golf is to let go and trust. But if you are serious about playing your best golf this year you must learn to let go of the score and trust and enjoy the round. So far in this series we covered topics like finding a good swing coach, creating a pre shot routine, focusing on your short game, playing practice rounds, finding a great caddy and playing within your ability. I hope you’ve had the chance to implement some of these ideas into your golf game and I hope they’re leading you towards playing your best golf. In connecting golf to financial planning, if you are serious about teeing up your finances, find a reputable financial advisor who is committed to getting to know you, and together create a financial plan that is in line with your long-term goals. With your trusted advisor create good diversification within your portfolio and have periodic financial planning meetings. In these meetings utilize your financial advisor to help you make good decisions in hard times and together discover your risk tolerance so you can sleep easy at night. Like golf, having these habits doesn’t always equate to immediate success, but hopefully these practices can get you on the path moving towards financial freedom and peace of mind. In golf, as in life, it is the follow through that can make all the difference. Thanks for listening.
