Welcome back to The Golf Guy blog! Since I threw an enormous amount of information at you in my last post, where I provided a lesson on "how to hit the golf ball further," I'd like to keep this weeks' post short, FUN, and sweet! I'd like to share with you some of my favorite golf stories of all times; which I must say was difficult in deciding which to choose from since there are so many great, inspiring, and uplifting golf stories out there! I hope that you will enjoy the few golf stories that I will provide to you, click each link and watch all of the videos, and comment back to me with some of your personal favorites! Enjoy!
This first video is a story about a Canadian born professional golfer by the name of Moe Norman. Although Moe was not the "typical" professional golfer, as he had many idiosyncrasies in which many believed stemmed from his medical condition, Moe has still earned the status of being "The best ball striker that has ever lived." This is truly a beautiful story, and without a doubt one of my favorites.
This next video is a story that was told by Jimmy Roberts on his show "In Play," which you can see on the Golf Channel. The video tells a story about a man named Michael Labrie, who was severely burned at the age of 3 in a freak accident. The video documents the unfortunate struggles and conflicts that Michael had to overcome throughout his life, as well as how golf, along with many other hobbies, has helped Michael to overcome these obstacles. This video is so inspiring, and will bring you so much joy whether or not you are a golf enthusiast!

The final video that I will leave you with just goes to show you that golf really CAN be an exciting sport to watch! The video is a combination of highlights from this past weeks' Accenture Match Play Tournament. The final match of the tournament between Jason Day and Victor Dubuisson came down to an exciting finish, lasting 23 holes! After hitting a few bad shots, requiring Dubuisson to hit out of a cactus, Dubuisson gave an unbelievable effort and truly made this final match an exciting one!
