True story.

Dis Jr and I were waiting to tee on at the first hole one day a couple of years ago. The guy in front of us had two prostetic legs and was using a cart.

I admired the guy for his determination but inside I thought, "this is going to be a long day."

Well, his tee shots were pretty straight and narrow on the first three holes. After that we lost him ... he was that accurate and that fast.

Good find Skilly.

Cheers.

I knew there was a reason I waited until I got home to watch this (you made me cry, Skilly).

Really makes you think. We shouldn't complain so much about every little ache and pain we get because there are so many people who face more challenges than we do and you certainly don't hear them complaining.

And DJ has straighter (and mostly longer) shots than I do

I know it's only the preseason, but good grief, we're bad, bad, bad... except for Mete (or so I'm being told).

I can't remember if it's in one of the older threads but here it is. I guess team Hoyt is the real deal. Cheers.

I made the mistake of watching this at work last week. My coworker came over to ask me a question and I quite bluntly said "What do you want?" Geez, people, don't you know better than to talk to me when I'm crying? Sheeesh!
