"The Old Geezer"

I watched the start of the final round of the British Open and became amazed and inspired by the accomplishments of "the old geezer" Tom Watson. I am a believer that all things happen for a reason and this 60 year old golfer has become an inspiration to many.


We all have inherent skills and how we use them is the difference between success and failure. Persistence and determination will always prevail. A child hood friend of mine, Ray Conmey, sent me a video clip this morning that really hit home......"Finish Strong" Click here: Finish Strong Movie - NC , proof again that going the little bit extra lifts you above the rest. The fact that Tom Watson is leading the British Open after 54 holes is historical.....when you listen to him he will tell you "I have a game plan". Regardless of the outcome, his accomplishments and continued passion for the game he loves so much is amazing. Another side story is one of the other players Ross Fisher, who is awaiting a call to find out if his wife went into labor with their first child. He starts off the day with birdies on the first two holes to take the lead....what do you suppose is going on inside of him?


Control, passion, determination and dedication are qualities that these golfers display in their quest to achieve golf history. A good lesson for us to carry in our daily endeavours. Regardless of our chosen paths in life, we can all carry a lesson with us. In spite of ones age, commitment, passion, determination , practice and knowledge will enhance our inherent skills and allow us to achieve our goals and our dreams......This "old geezer" has enjoyed the lesson and will continue to try and "finish strong".............thanks Ray!
