Inspiration from another Lefty

11/20/2014

I have been inspired by my favorite left-hander Phil Mickelson for over 20 years and by one particular shot at the 2004 Masters.  I have been inspired by my fellow countryman and left-hander, Mike Weir, who won a green jacket.  I have been inspired by another left-hander, or as they say in Australia, a molly-duker.  That other left-hander is Bubba Watson.    These guys truly inspire me everyday as a left-hander on the golf course, and how to represent the game of golf beyond the course.  That's why I am pushed beyond my disability to show ability on the course and off.  To go to Australia this year and place 2nd overall gross in the Australian Open and the World Championship.  But also to give back off the golf course.  Now I am inspired to join clubs such as the Rotary and Lions Clubs who do so much more for others on a global focus.  I look forward to the opportunity to use my abilities to "serve" and to provide "service above self". 
I look forward to the opportunity to also represent and advocate for the blind community by being a part of the Canadian Council of the Blind and to have the opportunity to pitch in during this year's annual food drive.  There is so much to be excited and inspired about on and off the golf course.

So this "Left-hander" is proud to be left-handed even when the "right-handers" are constantly ribbing  us.  I'd be proud to be a part of a four-some golfing at Pebble Beach which consisted of myself, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, and Mike Weir.  I think his would be the ultimate "Dream" for any left-hander!  Thanks for the inspiration fellow lefties!
