You know the summer is coming when you turn on the TV and you see a major golf tournament on, more specifically the Masters. I have grown to love the Masters for so many reasons. And this year has been no different. After three days, we have seen some great golf. A guy by the name of Chad Campbell is making a strong run. Angel Cabrera has been Mr. Consistent. Wisconsin’s very own Steve Stricker has become one of the top players on tour over the past couple years and is very much in the mix going into the final day. And for those who are only happy if Tiger is on top of the leader board, he still has an outside chance at -4, seven off the pace.
But I have been most impressed with co-leader Kenny Perry who at 49 years old is playing great golf. I enjoyed a couple comments he made Friday evening when he said that he still has the fire inside and wants to kick everyone’s butts. Although the comments were not elegantly spoken, they are inspirational. Sometimes I watch golf and think about how terrible of a golfer I am, and how I would have as many strokes on one of those par fives as they have on five holes combined. So that is not the part that is inspirational.
What is cool is that Kenny Perry is at the top of his profession this weekend. He is who everyone is looking up at as the best right now. As a teacher that is what I strive for. I want to give my students the best because that is what they deserve. And no matter what age I am, I hope I can always be relevant, a great communicator, and on top of my “game” with these kids. If there was a Masters of Teaching tournament, I would be just like Kenny. I would want to be the best. And it’s not because I’m competitive. It’s because I want the kids to have the best and I take away great joy from watching kids succeed and enjoy their education.
