Next Shot

No matter how bad things are - whether on the golf course or in life - I am a firm believer that there is always a next shot full of hope and opportunity.
I know the deep shame, pain, and sorrow that leads a person to believe that all hope is lost. I still carry the warts and scars that remind me how deeply wounded I was as a person, and how that hurt caused me to deeply wound people I cared deeply about. I am not proud of it, nor do I minimize my past. But those same warts and scars are also a reminder that healing is possible. There is a next shot.
My life as a caddie is deeply influenced by this belief. It is why I am unwavering in the encouragement I offer to players having a bad round. You may be in a deep bunker, but there is a next shot. And sometimes that next shot is amazing!
Another way I get to live this next shot message out is through my work at a local sober living house for men recovering from addiction. They can find hope, healing, and growth. 100% of the profit from my book Caddie Tales is set aside to support this important work. When you add an order for a signed copy of the book to your cart, you are helping provide next shots!
So take yours!
