Dear Harvey: Ace on 16

Make it a Great MondayThe first ONE is the best ONE!
Great day with Brian Utley, Greg Meserole, and Ty Willis. Finally able to match stories with Emily Singletary and fill my little hole-in-one holder with a golf ball instead of paper clips!

Dear Harvey,
 
I meant to write with an update. Golf continues to provide a much-needed reprieve during these trying times. You once said: “Golf has probably kept more people sane than psychiatrists.” That sure is spot on these days. Have you seen how busy our course has been during the pandemic?
 
My game continues to improve, and the enjoyment I get from playing is immense. I especially appreciate opportunities to play with better players, where I can watch and learn. I believe you told your students to go to dinner with good putters.
 
On Saturday, January 30, I played with three of ACC’s finest, all copied on this note. I played well throughout the day, and we had a fun four-ball with a series of rotating team bets. My finest moment came on number 16 when I holed out from the tee (8-iron, 125 yards) for my first ever “1”! We also used a four-bagger cart, which is a great way to walk the golf course.
 
Your most famous lesson, Take Dead Aim, comes to mind. I want to thank you and share my appreciation with the group.
 
Take good care up there,

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

RELEVANCE: From Beginning to End

How do you find and enjoy a place of purpose when you start your career, throughout your career, and when you stop ‘working’ and use your wisdom, resources, and skills to give back to the world? That’s right, from beginning to end. You don’t have to settle for doing things you do not enjoy.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
