MiaGM: When, at last the sun has set


Lucy,

A fun four-ball yesterday, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, with three of my favorites: Kyle Cazzetta, Paul Pullen, and Taylor Wilkinson. This was Taylor's final round in Austin before heading to London with your sister for the next 2-3 years! Check out the estate with guest cottage below where they will spend their 14-day quarantine in the English countryside. Prayers are up for Sal and T. What an adventure!

Congratulations Bryson DeChambeau for pulverizing the field at the 120th playing of the U.S. Open Championship. Regardless of his likability, you have to respect his work ethic, ingenuity, and willingness to push limits. Isn't that how entrepreneurs disrupt and start entirely new business categories? A fascinating read, for golf fans and non-fans: 'He's never going to stop': This is just the beginning of the DeChambeau revolution. 

On Make it a Great Monday, I'm sharing this American Express commercial and a poem that rings true, whether after playing golf or navigating a busy day. With credit for the verse to Bo Links, a San Francisco lawyer with a 4 handicap. 'Links' makes me think of my golfing buddy here in Austin, Brian 'Duff'!

Here's the stanza, from Links' poem, The Wind by Any Name:

When, at last

The sun has set

And dusk begins to grow

With all our strokes recorded

We’ll reflect, and smile, and know

That though the wind was raging

And stole from us the score

We’ll rise at dawn tomorrow

To battle it once more.

And the commercial:


That's the goal LuLu. I hope you feel like that at the end of your Make it a Great Monday!

Battle it once more,

Dad
