My high school class reunion draws near as I greet you readers. The Westminster Schools of Atlanta is where I claim matriculation for the vast part of my junior high and high school years—it’s where I was captain of both the JV and later the Varsity golf teams—it’s where I became proficient in speaking and interpreting German—it’s where I dabbled in playing the flute, volunteered a very short stint with the yearbook committee, and was voted class treasurer in my senior year.
The fondest of memories consume my thoughts of Westminster as well as the years that have separated me from that time.
Those years were spent chasing my aspirations, transferring funds from one account to the next to avoid overdraft fees, figuring out ‘my next step’, and making about a zillion ‘mistakes’ that would later prove to be the best decisions I would ever make. Can you relate?
I remember my first year as a professional golfer and the gratitude I felt towards Will and Jada Smith for sponsoring me. But before then, I remember Alan Bennett (dec.) and Mr. Gus Robinson and the WSGA—they went to great lengths to help me whenever I was in California.
I remember Dennis Morgan and so many other nameless faces that propelled my efforts in golf, before golf became so ‘organized,’ that is. I remember how me and my golf clubs were the same height when I started learning golf.
And I remember my first tournament when I was 7 or so– I shot 92 for 9 holes and thought I had won because I beat everyone in my group:-) Yes, many years separate me from those times but there is a common thread between then and now—I have been continuously showered with good things and great joy. And more importantly, my path has always led back to happiness and the comfort that comes with soaring to new heights.
These are truly exciting times for me and my staff and I look forward to keeping you updated each month!
