“It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.”
— Muhammad Ali
This quote highlights how small, persistent annoyances or unresolved issues (the “pebble”) often drain us more than the big challenges (the “mountains”). It’s a great reminder to address the little things that slow you down in life.
This is written like a typical, current day golf media persona who still believes in trophies and legacy of the likes of the pgatour and golf channel. A new day is dawning (like it or not) in golf and Phil lead the way. Whether LIV survives or not, the movement is real, the push for independence for the golfer w/o all the stuffiness of golf’s history is real. Phil doesn’t care what you think so keep writing and neither do people who believe in the new way of golf.
Lastly, you can separate the art from the artist but don’t pretend there is not a 3rd persona and that’s who the artist is to his inner circle. If you aren’t in the inner circle, you don’t really know

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:
“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”

Wake Forest’s athletic department just welcomed a new university president and is in the middle of a $250 million mixed-use development called “The Grounds” that is reshaping the entire sports and entertainment district around campus. 🧱
Private capital is now following the athletic department’s lead. A hotel property was just acquired for redevelopment, a neighboring commercial plaza was purchased for major renovation, a $33 million freestanding emergency department is under construction nearby.
The district now draws over one million fans annually across Joel Coliseum, Allegacy Stadium, Couch Ball Park, and the Wake Forest Tennis Center.
Truist is a named partner for women’s athletics, the school just opened a new campus in Charlotte’s innovation district, and the AD is running a disciplined commercial operation for a school Wake Forest’s size.
People talk about the big brands in college athletics…Wake Forest is a quiet case study in what it looks like when an athletic department operates like an anchor for its entire surrounding community.
The sum total of human interactions in a large society is so immense, you need a distributed network of cognition to compute the proper way forward; therefore, you give each actor their domain of individual choice so they can maximize their way forward and the aggregate will evolve from there (organically) instead of top down
