Tiger Woods

Lonnie had a dream come true the week of the 4th thanks to my parents. They invited us to go with them to a professional golf tournament sponsored by TIGER WOODS!! Lonnie loves to golf & loves to watch Tiger. It was SO nice of them to take us. Uh....we got rained on there as well. If you are reading these posts in order you will know that just the day before we were rained on MANY times. I thoroughly enjoyed the tournament even more than I thought I would. I don't enjoy watching sports on TV very much, but watching them live is GREAT!! Unfortunately, it is very expensive to go to professional sporting events. Lonnie completely spoiled me when we were dating. He was always taking me to see the Phillies, the Orioles, the Sixers, the Bullets, or the Bears. My favorite was when he took me out to Notre Dame for a college football game. That was awesome. It's a whole experience in itself. The spirit of the place & the students was amazing. Anyway, thanks Mom & Brad for the great golf day!

Because of how quiet you must be for most of the golf game, I was struck by a neat thought: how thousands of people will come out to watch & be in the presence of greatness. To be a professional athlete takes a lot of commitment & talent. We all know this. The feeling of watching someone actively live out their dreams is so neat. It's as if you are vicariously living out whatever your dream is or was. Watching someone live out their dreams because of HARD WORK, COMMITMENT & BELIEF is so inspiring. Brad said to me one day, "Everyone should have a dream." I truly do believe that. Tiger's father always said that he didn't want people to think Tiger was a great golfer. He wanted them to think his son was a great person. Tiger has done so much for kids. I think his dad's dream came true. The picture below is Tiger with his first child born just a few weeks ago. Now that is a dream come true for any parent.
