Every so often in sports someone special comes along, an athlete who seems to break all the rules and changes the nature of the game: Jordan, Ali, Mantle, Gretzky... and Tiger.
Today I got a glimpse of greatness. I went to the ATT National and watched Tiger tee off an amazing 300 yards. One day when they talk about the golf legend Tiger Woods, I'll be able to say I saw him play. Today I also saw KJ Choi, Stuart Appleby, Vijay Singh, and Anthony Kim (got his autograph).
It was a beautiful day and quite enjoyable following KJ (who began as the leader) around the course. It was slightly bizarre being part of the huge Korean horde following him around, but I certainly felt a sense of pride. There's something about seeing someone who looks like you doing well in a sport with so few minorities.
Anyways, boy do I still feel fortunate. Be thankful for your blessings.
