Tom Watson

I usually don't have the patience to watch Golf on TV, or anywhere else. This weekend was different because a guy who was winning tournaments in the 1970s was giving the youngsters a run for their money. He was trying to become the oldest champion in golf history.

Tom Watson showed us all the importance of determination, especially when you are up against great odds. Tom came through in spades this weekend.

Though the look in Tom Watson's eyes should not be forgotten by us newly minted 50-somethings. He did his best but it wasn't good enough. He was playing in a young man's sport, and at a very high level. There is nothing to be ashamed of here, and an object lesson for us all; though it still hurts for an old jock like me to watch.



Moral: Dare To Be Good.



Thanks, Tom.
