Do you try to be a lifelong learner?

Yes

Does confidently hitting a golf ball with a lefty club count as learning something new if you are one of the many here who are cross dominant? It took me about a week of serious practice to go from something I could do occasionally to something I could count on being able to do consistently.

Yes and No ...depends on what you input into your brain, and care should be taken..as to what info you Absorb.
If your in a situation that can allow for that..>>>>>>

As I gain experience I can deal with more external factors, such as a group of kids learning to play golf on the other half of the chipping green. As well as more static variables like ground slope and turf conditions.

Im not a huge learner. I have quite a mentally taxing job, and between that and chores etc. I don’t really feel like a lot learning during my relax time.

I do try and make it a little daily habit though. When reading a magazine or newspaper I try to read in depth one article from each section on a topic that wouldn’t usually interest me, just so that I can expand a bit and think about something new.

I was quite surprised that Amidism, or Pure Land Buddhism, does not center around Buddha Gautama. It was started by a Buddha named Amitabha. Amitabha created Pure Land through his vows and accumulated merit. In a normal Buddhist heaven, or paradise, you are there until you have used all your merit and then reincarnate. But in the Pure Land, you never have to reincarnate. You are there until you reach nirvana.

"Amitabha vowed to save all sentient beings by granting them rebirth in his realm, the 'Western Paradise,' a pure land endowed with miraculous characteristics ensuring its inhabitants easy entry into nirvana. Salvation could be attained by invoking the name of Amitabha with absolute faith in his grace and the efficacy of his vow. It was believed that Amitabha and his retinue would appear to the faithful at the time of death and convey them to his paradise." - https://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia ... d-buddhism

Thank you for the above ^^^^^^^

You are welcome. I started researching Pure Land because of episode one of Shogun. When someone is dying, they say something like, "Think of the Buddha." And they talk about being reborn in the Pure Land. That got me curious. Anyways, just thought I'd share.
