Product Details

The word “Lent” is derived from an old English word meaning “spring” and is a period of penance and abstinence observed by many Christians. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday (a different date every year) and ends on Holy Thursday (the day before Good Friday when Christians commemorate Jesus Christ’s crucifixion). That’s a period of 40 days if you don’t count Sundays. Lent is an homage to Jesus’ 40 days spent fasting in the desert to prepare for his Earth ministry.

Lent officially began during the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E., [1] a first-of-its-kind gathering of representatives from all the major Christian sects. Initially, the rules around Lent were stringent. Those observing it were only allowed to eat one meal a day and only in the evening. Meat, fish, and animal products were off-limits. But by the 1400s, Christians were allowed to eat by noon. Eventually, other foods (like fish) were allowed, and in 1966, the Roman Catholic Church restricted fast days only to Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

DISCLAIMER: We use the great game of golf to support our coaching. Why? Golf is played exactly the way the game of life should be played. Golf is played with rigorous honesty, and the golfer calls it on themselves when there's an infraction. Our coaching demands playing life straight down the middle and flirting with the out-of-bounds lines is prohibited. Our coaching platform has been named "The Country Club of Life" and will improve the lives of golfers and non-golfers alike if our students commit to doing the things most won't.

The Country Club of Life (here-in-after referred to as CC of Life) is a virtual life coaching and training system. It is holistic training bent on developing the "Whole" person. The system is a Tried, Proven, and Custom-developed testing into our students' lives', Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually, Intellectually, Financially, and Socially. Our coaching techniques and methods are rooted in the belief in Intelligent Design. Why? With over 30 years of clinical observation, trial, and research, we have observed that determining "Whose" we are will be critical to eventually discovering "Who" we are – and accepting the limitations of our discovery. "Who" we are and being anything, one makes our minds to be are typically the goals of most coaching techniques. Our research, trials, and findings strongly rebuke that approach. Only by determining where we came from can we determine where we're going. We can develop a successful, focused, workable, and closely monitored game plan for our students through the acceptance of our character defects and limitations. We do not reject or attempt to change contrarians' findings and opinions. We operate solely from a position of attraction - not promotion or opposition. Experience has shown us many want what we offer, making it unnecessary to debate the pundits.

CC of Life DOES NOT suggest that the system will guarantee success. WE ONLY SUGGEST OUR STUDENTS SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MOTTO. " DO WHAT MOST WON'T – ENJOY WHAT MOST NEVER WILL"
