Why I've Quit Coaching High School Golf

[aquacooled]

I played ice hockey thru collage.. I started golf late however I had as much resepct for my coachs as I did for my father, and never in my life would I even think of flipping him off.. I mean I got into heated arguments with them but never stepped over that line (I might have danced all over it, but never crossed it) because I gave my word to my team mates and myself that I wanted to play no matter what I had to giveup myself.. Now anyone who knows me knows that I can run off at the mouth better then most.. I remeber my coach benched me one time for my mouth, he told me to go shower. Being as mad as I was I just went home, when I got early my dad was like what are u doing here is everything ok?? I told him what happened and I thought my father was going to beat me to death with the look he had on his face.. He told me that I better get my a$$ back to that ring and to make sure I didnt come home unless I was still on the team.. See it wasnt about making the team or one day becoming a pro, and he wasnt living his dream thru me either, he is just a man who was going to make sure his son grewup knowing what respect was and holding to my word.. Im really sorry erik that things worked out the way they did for you, just remeber everything happens for a reason, and I agree with you, you shouldnt have to lower your standards to meet anyone elses.. My father said that and he was right..

thanks dad..
