Wow!
Fred Couples with the outright lead.
Tom Watson and Phil Mickelson one shot back.
And Tiger one behind them.
Could you ask for a more exciting opening round to a Masters Golf Tournament?
So many story lines…so little time.
Fred Couples – lighting up the Champions Tour with three wins…carrying it out to the Masters with his best round ever (great for us Washingtonians).
Tom Watson – after his great British Open runner-up finish, showing that wasn’t a fluke.
Phil Mickelson – showing he’s back on form after off-the-course challenges that made focusing on golf difficult the past few years.
And Tiger Woods – after a complete meltdown over the last several months, comes back to have his best opening round at the Masters ever and very much in contention.
That is one of the great things about sport.
No matter what is swirling around in the background.
The drama of the game takes over once the first ball is put in play.
Your life and your business are no different.
Business and life is no different.
We all have issues. Whether it’s family challenges or character weakness or advancing age.
You still must get up every day. Do what is required. And hopefully achieve as much of your God-given potential as you can.
Everyone wins.
And ultimately we all benefit when you suck it up and forge ahead.
You build character.
And we benefit as a society.
Applaud excellence.
One thing I absolutely admire is people giving their all and achieving great results…day in and day out.
Whether it is top golfers at The Masters.
Or me or you.
People persevering and persisting against the odds is what makes America great.
And is what makes watching The Masters enjoyable too.
Your challenge.
When you get up tomorrow.
Remember this challenge.
You can compete with the best. You can make a difference.
Go out and make your contribution count.
