Give me another ball!

Earlier today, I tweeted “ Is it just me, or do you have “Tin Cup” flashbacks when watching The Masters and they talk about Rory McIlroy and you think Roy McAvoy?” Really made me chuckle and remember The Colonial at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth while I was in seminary.? My buddy Rick Murray and I went to the tournament one day and I recall D.A. Weibring pulling a “Roy McAvoy” and hitting a ball right into the drink.? He had gotten himself in jail (which is easy to do at Colonial for sure) by hitting his drive close to some overhanging trees.? His first approach shot clipped a branch and landed in the pond.? He didn’t even look at his caddy.? He stared straight ahead at the ripples in the water and snapped his fingers for another ball.? After receiving the ball his didn’t even move at all…he just turned his hand over to drop the ball.? Awesome!!? He then hit his second ball within like 5 feet.? Unbelievable.

It was really something to see him be so laid back and roll with the punches.? No overreaction, not tantrum, no clubs thrown, no curse words.? We would all do well to take a play out of D.A.’s playbook.

How about you?? Any good stories of when you saw someone cool under discouragement or failure?
