I suppose there is some truth to golf reflecting life in that you will have to deal with many of the same situations and moral dilemmas. But I don't think someone's reaction on the golf course is going to necessarily reflect the way they deal with life in general. First off, and I realize this is blasphemy, golf is just a game and has limited importance in the larger scheme of things. Also, many life skills are easier to master than golf, so golf has a much higher frustration ratio than life in general. If your life is as frustrating as golf, then you really need to seek help with your life.
