Greetings Tim
To put things into perspective, I work with your brother Sean at PG and I also graduated from University of Guelph in Zoology and Nutrition. As a single father and survivor three life threatening situations, I appreciate your shout out for the flawed human.
As a young man, I gave up a summer travelling Europe to be a looper at Wianno Caddy Camp in Cape Cod. Seeing the “dark side” of golf, it took a few decades and genetics to inspire me to strike the wee white ball again. Now, I golf with Marines..whose motto is: Honour, Courage and Commitment. I can see how this motto is applicable both in life and in golf.
Once I was told I would never be able to walk nor do athletic endeavours. Five years later, I managed to become a professional yacht captain racing in Newport and throughout the world. As a yacht captain, I was privy to the world of wealth and exclusive societies such as the New York Yacht club. As a common man, I got to see behind the smoke and mirrors. I truly believe that folks need to give their own reflections in the mirror a thorough and humble evaluation prior to tossing barbs and output to other folks glass houses.
So..thank you for your reflections. Would always appreciate a chat.
cheers
