I had the day off work on Wednesday so I headed over to the course for some much needed short game practice.

I've been bummed out about not being able to play while my left knee heals. Gonna wear a pro level brace and give it a go on the range maybe next Thursday.....maybe. The weather here this week has been in the 60s and 70s...killing me that I didn't play....argggghhh.

Anyhow...I chipped for an hour and then headed over to the practice green and putted for another hour.

I finished up and slung my bag on and headed for my vehicle.

As I turned the corner at the parking lot a walker also wearing shorts came stolling by. He was pushing his Florida Gators bag on a pushcart and walking briskly. I noticed that he also had a brace on one knee.......then I noticed his other leg was an artificial leg. He greeted me with a loud and enthusiastic, "Good morning!" and smiled....heading out towards the first tee box.

Amazing, I thought. Here this guy is walking full speed, without a limp, one bad and knee and and artificial leg, great attitude and going to tee it up.

Something tells me he plays the game with the same confidnence that he strides with. Inspirational.

I'm grateful our paths crossed.

    • For me it was combo of good drama and total last man standing collapse... But it showed me once again that "ball rollback" is nonsense...when courses are set up to punish missed fairways and greens, that's where the quality golf (or total collapse) takes place...hurting the rest of us because a relatively few can bomb it 100 yards farther is idiotic...that Young bomb on 18 was gutsy... He misses the fairway with that he likely doesn't win, at least on that hole...
    • Followed by the longest drive on 18 in the shotlink era. That is a tough shot and he stood up there and did it. Fair play to him.
