Preparing for the Majors
by Big League Chip
To be a contender in The Spring Handicap, the Club Championship and the Tournament of Champions, this is the holy trinity of my new year’s resolutions.
Can I? A question I have asked myself many times. I believe, hope and pray I can, but can I? What holds me back? It’s not my upbringing. I am the product of good, strong and right, but still I have doubts. Nature or nurture, neither defines me. Who is the man within, confident or not? So many unanswered questions, so few answers.
I believe, so I think, I can, When my mind is set, I do, I can. What limits me? Is it perception, expectations, or believing I’m not “that” good?
Eliminate the doubt. I can and dare to excel. Can I reach those lofty heights I seek? Yes, but do I trust myself to believe I can? This is the real question. I can!
Next month will mark the ten year anniversary of Chip on the Web. Watch this site for all the gala activities to follow. There’s a rumor the seventh hole will have either a plaque placed or a beer cart parked permanently on the tee to commemorate this achievement. The book, tentatively titled, “The Brightest Bulb in a Box of Crayolas” should be out in April or May. Remember the names have not been changed to protect the innocent (as we haven’t any). Financial considerations are encouraged to ensure your name will be redacted. Big Al will enforce, or should I say conduct this part of the operation (PCGC has asked that everyone wear a mask when reading this book).
Let The Year of Chip begin!!
