A refreshing view of sports, particularly golf is contained in this short video -

The Ven. Lama Kunga, Ngor Thartse Rinpoche, shown golfing is the founder and resident lama of Ewam Choden Tibetan Buddhist Center located in the Berkeley area. Rinpoche was born into the Shuku family in Lhasa in 1935, the son of Tsepon Shukupa, the former Financial Minister of the Dalai Lama's government.
At the age of 7, he was recognized as the reincarnation of Sevan Repa, a Heart Disciple of Milarepa, the great 11th century yogi and poet of Tibet. Rinpoche entered monastic life when he was 8 years old and lived in Western Tibet, primarily at Ngor Monastery, in the Sakya tradition. Before he left Tibet in 1959, Rinpoche served as Vice Abbot of Ngor Monastery.
