I think I'm likely the only avid golfer that everybody who's ever played the game can beat! My game redefines the definition of awful! But as bad as it is, I still love to try and especially love the fact that a game of golf gets me outside and away from the frenzy of a "normal" day for four or five hours.
I'm sure that you have heard the news that disturbs me today -- the news that Amy Mickelson, the lovely wife of Phil Mickelson, has been diagnosed with cancer.
My wife and I were in Pinehurst in 1999, watching Phil compete for the title of US Open Champion when Amy was due to give birth to the first of their children. Even though he played to a tie and was committed a playoff round, Phil had told officials and fans alike that he would forego his chances at a major and leave should Amy go into labor.
As a cancer survivor myself, my heart aches at Amy's news and at the uncertainty that's bound to overwhelm Phil and the family. We just hope that they have found her cancer early when chances of a full recovery are best.
Join me in wishing the best for the Mickelson family -- to Amy, to Phil, the kids and their extended family. Join my in praying daily that they will find peace during the difficult days ahead.
