@GolfDigest Grew up in Orlando and I remember seeing Palmer arrive in an old limo at Rio Pinar. You knew royalty had arrived and the crowds parted as he walked to the clubhouse. Didn’t want to swing like him, but loved his charisma and admiration for the game. He made me love golf

I can't wait to dig into the new book from @RichardvReeves. He's always well-researched and provocative, but more importantly, solution-oriented.

@winnerspath Why you got to do your old friends that way? 😂 I lived in GSO for four years. I loved it, but there’s a reason it doesn’t have traffic jams…and it isn’t because of the number of highways.

I once told @kylepetty that @VictoryJunction team believed in him so much, they would follow him over any hill & into any battle. His new book demonstrates why we felt that way. It’s a great read, whether you’re a racing fan, a KP fan or just a fan of decent people dealing w/life

@RichardvReeves @_SwiftPress @AmazonUK Me too…but where’s the “O” going?

@ShawnBowWow @EbooPatel @interfaithusa Thank you for attending! I was sitting behind you and it was hard to focus on Eboo because I was fascinated with your sketchnotes 😀!

[Brian Collier @DBrianCollier]

@RichardvReeves @reidhoffman Loved the conversation and discussion, especially his thoughts about friendship. Also impressive you found something he’d never been asked about!
