July 7 - Stepping off the golf course and returning to my world left me thinking many thoughts, both backward and forward looking. Backward looking, such as "I wish I was that age again," "why wasn't I that good at that age (and now haha)"; Forward looking in that I would use the feelings of inspiration, determination, and focus to continue improving my golf and other areas of my life. I did also leave with extreme admiration, some jealously, and feeling like I could be a parent and coach. Would it be fun to coach golf? In five plus hours at the AJGA Wyndham Cup hosted by Old Sandwich with the Top 12 high school boys and Top 12 high school girls from each coast of the U.S. competing Ryder Cup style over 3 days, I was fortunate enough to participate in the Pro-Am and was paired with an OS member as well J. Seiple (West Team - Colorado) and R. Dai (East Team - Atlanta). What amazing talents, but more importantly I held high respect for their maturity, attitude, and appreciation toward others. Not sure I will have this opportunity again, a special day!
p.s.: got smoked by Seiple from the back tees; if I had my "A" game I would have challenged his "C" game
