Tiger Woods

The late Arnold Palmer, a four time masters champion, to name a few, once said, “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.” This quote is the very anthem of my feeble golf career. It may look easy when pros like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus perform at the highest major championships, but when you actually set your hands on the clubs, your entire point of view on the sport changes in an instant.

When the lion looked up from the mountain and saw the lion it recognized something in the lion that was similar to itself that…

A fish, confined to the small waters of a round glass bowl, encompasses something much larger than itself. The same as a tiger, unrestrained, roaming the vast jungle. And the same as a human. Every living thing must meet some form of an end.
