There is a specific hole at a specific golf course where I got the call that I landed my dream job in Tech. 3 years later on a company day off, I’d get news on that same exact hole that my role at another company was being eliminated. Highs and lows. I don’t think it was a coincidence, nor do I believe in coincidences at all. I do believe there is significance in physical locations where we experience life altering experiences. I also believe that we should continue to revisit and frequent those locations - there’s something there for us. Can I make sense of or explain why the 3rd Hole at Costa Mesa Country Club happens to be marked by these two meaningful events in my career? I cannot. But I can tell you that every time I round the corner and head to the tee box, my eyes and ears are surely perked. Lesson here: Don’t forget those places where life took a turn. Often what looks like a setback can be a setup for more than you could dream up on your own. PS - this is not a pic from Costa Mesa. This is a shot out of the lava in Hawaii.
How do you usually score on the 3rd ?
Amazing how these circumstances, associated feelings and locations all come to a head at a few pivotable points in our lives. Loss or gain of good things in live become easier to reflect on when you are staying relatively consistent (playing the same course often enough for these events to collide). With my erratic memory, I'm glad when I can tie life events to locations that ground my mind on the subject at hand. Kyle Willis
"This is not a pic from Costa Mesa. This is a shot out of the lava in Hawaii." I didn't know Hawaii was located in Baja California? 😁
Some healthy superstitions never hurt because the university works in mysterious ways. Best to carry yourself in a way that takes advantage of what life throws at you.
Golfing in Hawaii now that's the life.
We all know one thing, those arms have never laid off the weights
Peaks and Valleys… definitely not a coincidence
