Bobby Jones Links’ Post

On Saturday night April 13, 1996 PGA pro and world no. 1 Greg Norman held a 6 stroke lead over longtime rival Nick Faldo heading into the final round of The Masters. At Hole No. 1 the 41 year old bogeyed, setting the tone for what would become one of the most tragic and historic collapses in golf history as he went on to drop 6 strokes and finished second. Two previous times, in 1986 and 1987, “the Great White Shark” lost in heartbreaking fashion at Augusta National on the last round, one of which was to a second hole playoff chip-in from Larry Mize Despite winning the British Open in 1986 and 1993, 20 PGA Tour wins, and having the 2nd most all time weeks at world no. 1 (331, second to only Tiger), his biggest failures and shortcomings are some of the most iconic snapshots in the history if professional golf. Most people won’t ever have to deal with gut-wrenching televised failure, however, I don’t know of anyone that can say they aren’t ashamed of some lifetime shortcomings. In my opinion, the best part of the Greg Norman story is that his failure not only endeared him to fans for the rest of his career, but made him a model of graciousness. While we love to honor success, more often we identify with someone’s weakness and failures. Who doesn’t want to work with, for, or lead a person that knows they aren’t perfect, has the humility to acknowledge it, the willingness to show some cracks in the professional facade and connect on a human level. Competence is great. Humility learned through experience is greater. #dothingsdifferently

Kentucky Derby: Let's Goooooo! - Fierceness – Yes, that last race was spectacular…but who was he beating? Won’t get that lonely lead in the Derby. As a matter of fact, I don't think he gets the lead at all. May run off and clobber them…or he may run off the board. That means Trifecta and Superfecta are big balloons! Short priced horse with questions. Sierra Leone – Great run last time out. Looked like Mine That Bird getting a dream run all the way around. It was like all the horses got out of his way. Better lucky than good. I’m not sold that he can avoid the traffic trouble this time. Another that could win, but there are questions. The Godfather’s Gold Sheet – I like to play horses on the way up that have been pointed for the Derby as opposed to those that ran their best race ever last time out and might regress. My pick: JUST A TOUCH. Several reasons. First, Trainer Brad Cox looks absolutely loaded this week at Churchill Downs. His horses are always well spotted, and mostly speed, which is favorable at Churchill. Second, Florent Geroux, Cox's main jockey takes the mount. In the Bluegrass, "Just a Touch" did all the dirty work through very fast fractions. Looked like a winner on the turn before being collared by "Sierra Leone". Third, I think "Just a Touch" can sit and stalk from a great post position (8). Morning line odds: 10-1. I’ll use several horses underneath: Sierra Leone, Catching Freedom, Encino, Resilience, Fierceness and Stronghold. The two favorites and four longshots. Trifecta: $30. Superfecta: $120. Let's make some money!
