MiaGM: When, at last the sun has set

Make it a Great MondayLucy,

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

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.
