Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun / February 21-24, 2008

[Yoda]

As far as theme songs go, this is the way I heard it . . .

And, starting two years ago this month, lived it.

The work was different, but the story is the same.

Brian Gay.

The underdog who got it done.

The 'little red engine' that could.

Here are the real-time stills: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...highlight=bosu.

In this first clip, I see our own cast of characters: Brian; his wife Kimberly (see post #26 here http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...?t=4381&page=3) believing in him and asking for the win; and 'ol Yoda there to help him do it:

Wire-to-wire this past year:

In the first week of January, 'prep' for '07 at the Classic Club in Palm Desert.

On the PGA TOUR at the Honda in Palm Beach Gardens . . .

And The PODS Championship in Palm Harbor.

At home in Orlando.

Then, the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

In The Swamp.

At the AT&T Classic in Atlanta.

More Swamp.

The John Deere Classic in Moline.

In the last week of December, 'prep' for '08 at home in Orlando.

And always in touch by phone.

As his following crowd grows, there is no doubt in my mind that you are there, cheering him on, one of his many fans around the world at Lynn Blake Golf. I love the international flags lining the roadway down the homestretch and the "Go, GO G-O-O-O!" as he sprints into the finish.

'Yoda' looks a little different in this second clip -- I am well beyond my 'Apollo' years -- but the spirit is there.

Gotta love the mirror work!

Finally, about that 10-year, 293 'starts', dark horse victory:

"It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."
-- Rocky Balboa

P.S. There is a 'Rocky' in you, and . . .

"There's one thing I want you to do for me. . . C'mere:

Win."

In whatever your game in life, first believe, then pay the price and . . .

"Win!"
