LEGS OF STEEL. HEART OF GOLD

Crazy how something can move you. My friend Chris T and I share a similar passion. We both love endurance sports. Yet in our journey's we have also discovered that we are both moved by incredible moments within the sports community where adversity and tenacity create a "feel good" moment that redeems perspective.

Before your big game today. Before a review of X & O's occurs, let this story from Colorado rile your purpose and stir the champion in you.

Buckle up.

Much hope.

John Daly Plays Better Drunk? Really...

As if he has credibility to give insights to what makes him play better. Sadly this article from yahoo.com tells the whole story.

"I've done everything right and haven't played worth a" darn, Daly said. "It's unbelievable. I'm giving myself the chance to play good. It seems the more I work, the worse I get."

Daly was asked what he's learned about himself through the years.

"That I was happy when I was a miserable drunk. I played better when I was drunk," he said.

Daly paused, smiled half a smile and gently shook his head.

"I don't know," he said.

It might sound crazy, but it makes a little bit of sense when you think about it. When Daly was really hitting the bottle hard, he won two majors and two other PGA Tour events during that time. He was a golfer known for his long driving, but he had incredible touch around the greens.

While alcohol was most likely the reason his life spun out of control towards the end of the '90s, it sure seemed to work for a short period of time. Now, as Daly said, he is doing "everything right" and can't seem to find any success on the golf course. Daly hasn't had a top-10 finish on tour in four years, and hasn't won since 2004, when he got up and down from a bunker to win a playoff at the Buick Invitational.

He still is a guy that golfers will follow because we as humans can relate to the guy.

Dreams Dwarfed

Sometimes dreams get dwarfed. Sometimes they seem impossible. But what happens when people look beyond the "why will he? or "how can he?" and choose to dream.

These guys did.



Today, what dream is dormant? What dream is destiny unleashed?

Dream.

Punished for Pink

What in the world? Is there NO DISCERNMENT within leading ranks of referee officials? How in the world could these refs be punished for doing the right thing?

On behalf of the Susan B Komen Foundation, HS Refs used pink whistles. Now they may be suspended and lose pay. The Washington Officials Associations said they broke the rules...



Come on people...get a clue.

The Cost Just Went Up

Looking at Tiger's high profile marriage meltdown, I wonder if he ever new it would cost this much?

"According to Radar Online, Elin Nordegren, formerly Elin Woods, is going to get a pretty nice lump of cash out of this whole "Escalade-waitresses-porn star" debacle that happened to the top golfer in the land nearly a year ago. Radar is saying that Elin will get $110 million from Tiger when the papers are signed, a sum that has been tossed around ever since news hit that the two would be splitting."

Some times the cover up, cost more than the crime.
