Tiger Woods is an amazing human, god, man.  Watching him play in the U.S. Open this Sunday was truly inspiring.  He just does not back down.  I’m pretty sure my neighbors heard me yell when he sunk the putt to send the tournament to a playoff.  My friend thought I was crazy jumping up and down on our couch.

Recently he had knee surgery — which I can completely relate to (I’ve torn my ACL twice playing soccer).  Anyone who knows me I’m a bogey golfer at best — but LOVE playing the sport.  I never was obsessed with the sport until as of late since my aging friends are finding the sports that require “running” and “contact” are getting harder and harder to subject our bodies to.

Tiger’s ability to CONSISTENTLY win and stay focused is truly amazing.  Consistency in being the best in the world is the lesson he continues to teaches us all.  His ability to stay composed, professional, and continue to “prove it out” is what I strive to do on a daily basis.  In the short time I’ve been in this world I’ve met several people that can “talk the talk” and it really means nothing in the end game if you can’t deliver and do it over and over as needed.  It’s people like Tiger Woods that continue to prove to me actions always do speak louder than words.
