Finally did something good golfing today.

Last saturday while on the putting green I had spoken to a man and his grandson which looked to be about 6. This was his 3rd time playing and the youngster had a good swing. Anyway today I saw them both again at the same course. I spoke to them briefly and told the kid I wanted to show him something. I pulled out of my bag a new Wheaties Tiger Woods signature ball that I had from back in the late 90's (I think). I still had 1 ball in a sleeve and another sleeve that had all the balls. I gave him one of the balls and the sleeve it came in. He and his grandfather was so appreciated and the granddad told the boy he was not going to hit the ball that he was going to take it home and save it. Doing a good deed did not help my game any but seemed to make the boys day.

This is indicative of everything great about golf.

Well done. And even better, the son will remember your gesture and possibly "pay it forward" in the future.

DISCLAIMER: Not golf related, but good deed related:

I chopped off all my hair on Wednesday and donated it to Locks of Love.

Good for you! And good for that granddad taking his grandchild out to the game. G'pa showed excitement and put significant 'value' on what you gave the child. The ball won't be around forever, but the memory of golfing with G'pa and your kindness will probably last a lifetime for the child.

Cheers to you for doing the right thing.

I did the same thing with a spongebob ball I had. Not something I am sure the kid was going to keep but I am sure it made his day. Great job Steve Making this world better, one golf ball at a time

You, my friend, deserve one of those Burger King Steakhouse burgers
