Today is a special day so in this Monday Mulligan we’re going to encourage Dad and Mom to spend a few minutes with your junior golfer and talk about another subject other than golf. (photo jennleforge.com)
This is Memorial Day and it is the day we, as Americans, spend time remembering those who have sacrificed their lives so that we can live in this amazing country. Please take a moment to approach and address this subject with all your children. Help them be aware that there are a ton of places in today’s world that it is all a family can do is stay alive from 1 day to the next. Or to escape persecution or to have a subsistence lifestyle where every day requires major effort to have food, clothing and a safe place to sleep.
In spite of what some people and politicians may say, the US is still the #1 country that folks want to emigrate to, the land of opportunity and the land of the free. Parents, please let your junior golfers know that everything about their lifestyle, including the ability to practice and play golf has been paid for in a number of ways, including the treasure and blood of our military.
Enjoy your day and please give a moment of remembrance and respect to all the men and women who have selflessly sacrificed their lives so we can live in this wonderful land.
See you on #1 tee, looking respectful… Sam
