Hello Friends Around The World.
It is a great pleasure to connect with all of you.
Thank you for your time and consideration for the following reprint of the first article I wrote in here May 5, 2008.
Its taken some serious time because big moves and heavy global lifting always takes time.
I should have started this blog a long time ago.
I never wrote a blog when I was caddying or in the early stages of building MACK DADDY CADDY, but after a suggestion from a friend in Los Angeles, Danny Wu, I decided to start a blog for THE INTERGALACTIC GOLF REVOLUTION.
Following is the first entry into THE INTERGALACTIC GOLF REVOLUTION.
This is THE INTERGALACTIC REVOLUTION so please stay tuned as the adventure unfolds before your eyes.
During a time when joy, community, and international unification was needed above all else, golf entered the picture as a defining factor in the future prosperity of the world. From out of nowhere, stepped a young man who realized golf was the answer and saving grace capable of increasing community and economic prosperity around the world. Golf was so much more than a game played in the heat by the elite, but a catalyst for world peace and economic stimulation. Alone, this young man would gather an international team of specialists in the advertising, marketing, fashion, and media industries to defy the odds and bring his vision for the future of golf to life in a once in a life time, no holds barred epic journey spanning the globe. Join us as we travel to the center of the entertainment and golf worlds in one of the greatest stories ever told.
This is the story of THE INTERGALACTIC GOLF REVOLUTION.
Prepare yourself for wild adventures with a incredible, star studded cast of world famous characters and friends who have helped me in my pursuits to join entertainment and golf like never before.
Time and time again, the most amazing people have stepped forward and helped me bring my vision for The Future of Golf to reality!
And I thank them for without their help, I would never be able to do what it is I do.
I am here to spread golf around the world with exciting new programming reaching a younger, hip, and hot demographic.
I created the vision from scratch and held tight to the vision no matter what the cost.
Though people told me to get a job and quit wasting my time, it was only through carrying out my vision that I achieved ultimate satisfaction, happiness, and success.
So never, ever give up on your dreams.
For if you have them, achieve them and do not use excuses as a way to avoid pursuing your destiny and greatest personal potential.
There is no room for boredom when you have been given the gift of life.
When I was 12, I was introduced to Che Guevera's work. His travels, writings, and story inspired me as I walked highways, slept in back alleys, or curled up in the back seat of my car for years on end. I knew if he did it, I could too.
His work didn't inspire me to live a meager lifestyle, but he inspired me to follow my dream and and vision that keep us awake at night. Whether you spend your whole life chasing a dream, your life might be more fulfilling than those millions of people who live for nothing but to get up an go to work every day.
Though our revolutions encompass two different arenas, a revolution is a shift in thought and capable of changing the world.
We are knocking down doors and destroying barriers that keep the great game from impacting the masses.
With the mixture of Golf, Art, and Culture, fresh new opportunities will be created.
An unlikely combination yielding tremendous impact on the world.
THE GOLF REVOLUTION!
I wish people could see what I see.
A world of good times, industry, commerce, and lots of golf parties.
Soon they will see it clearly.
I have done everything I do for the game of golf and the pursuit of peace, happiness, and community building.
I feel golf is capable of bringing the world great things and it was not until someone spoke up and talked about it that people could begin to realize golf was about more than hitting a white ball around a park.
Golf can and will be used as a catalyst for world peace.
Mark my words.
And this is how its done Playas...
Since I was young, there have been many books that have inspired me. One of the most significant was Che Guevera. Che's writings in MANEFESTO are available by clicking on the title of this Blog Entry. If you are interested in reading more about Che, Go up to THE INTERGALACTIC GOLF REVOLUTION title above, click on it, and enjoy the GOOGLE BOOK provided for you. I think it is important to recognize who is responsible for shaping mentalities and perspectives in our life. He certainly shaped mine.
I started caddying when I was 13. It was often a lonely walk in the park because as the youngest caddy, we were told to keep quiet. Keeping my mouth quiet was very difficult to do, but I was fairly successful at it.
Actually, I was very god at keeping my mouth shut for I let the player play his game.
So at 14, I got lucky and began carrying clubs for some of the greatest golfers in the world. I was fortunate to travel around the world working for these talented men.
I was fortunate to learn an incredible amount about the world while traveling on the road for all those years.
The relationships, love affairs, people, and incredible opportunities coming my way at this time were significant.
I took all of these opportunities seriously.
Still, sometimes I should have taken them even more serious.
I guess, at the time, I just saw myself as doing work I must do.
It wasn't out of the normal for it was my norm and what I loved.
As long as I traveled, each destination as unique and provided me incredible excitement come nightfall.
Whether it was strip clubs, restaurants, or bars and night clubs, each city was a new adventure.
LA was always one of my favorite spots.
My first trip to LA was as a 17 year old professional caddy on the Senior PGA TOUR.
Now 28, I have been to LA many times before, but I have never lived here full time until now.
They say you can never fully appreciate a city until you move to a place and make it your home.
LA will now be my home. It is way past due.
LA is a city for dreamers.
LA is where Angels live and dreams become reality.
Angels walk the streets and drive along side you down the high ways.
Los Angeles is a very, very special city and I am so very pleased to finally be here.
Sloan and I have arrived in LA to start a new chapter of our life.
We are here to turn our dreams and vision for our future into reality.
There is no better time than now.
We don't wait for other people to do it for we must go after it and get it at all costs.
The time had come for Sloan and I to make the move from Nor Cal to So Cal so we loaded up Mister The Cat, The VW Passat, and a U-Haul full of our belongings and moved from the most beautiful spot in North America, Sausalito to The Entertainment Capital of The World.
Now, once in LA, I will be able to take my vision for The Future of Golf to the next level and implement my vision for THE INTERGALACTIC GOLF REVOLUTION.
Moving to LA was the best thing we could have ever done.
Sloan will now be able to take her vision for her incredible work, www.sloanarts.com, to new levels of success.
The Time is NOW!
The time is always NOW for all things.
Make a difference now.
Make your reality what you want, today.
Sloan, Mister, and I started our Trans California Migration from SF to LA a little later than expected. If it wasn't for Lilly, Scott, and O'Neil's help, we wouldn't have made it. Packing was tough as our U-haul was a little smaller than expected and we had to cram the final remains inside. There was no room to budge.
Since my mom was in the city, we had to stop by there and see her too. She had been visiting from my home town, Kansas City. She had been in SF for the past 12 days and was trying to decide whether or not she would make SF her permanent home. For the past week we had fun talking about the future, hanging out seeing the sights. My mom's heart lives in SF. She is a 60's hippie who used to travel around the country following Janis Joplin and Three Dog Night. She loves SF for sentimental reasons. I told her if she lived there, she would come to find out it is not like the days of old.
I love SF, but it has changed with the coming of The Dot Com Era.
Love and Life mixed with Money and Greed.
A very scary combination.
Seeing her before we pulled out of town for the last time was really great.
We were on the road by 3pm on Sunday and pulled into LA around midnight last night.
Sloan drove the Passat and along with it, Mister, her special black and white feline friend played co-pilot.
This was Mister's first big move and he meowed all the way down.
Sloan was worried.
But Mister made it.
Sloan was especially worried when the U-Haul I drove started swerving back and forth on the highway a couple times throughout our drive.
The truck swerved every time I tried to make a call.
Evil E and I talked a couple times.
He wished me a prosperous journey.
I told him it would be.
Finally, we pulled off the 5 at Los Feliz and checked out our new home.
Sloan had never seen our new spot and I was glad to get a view.
A big beautiful fountain with blue and red lights emerging from the center welcomed us on the corner of Los Feliz and Riverside.
Griffith Park is right next door and there will be plenty of great times ahead.
I am certain of it. We are in a great spot. Los Feliz Par 3 is right next door and I am excited to get the party under way.
Sloan and Mister were tired from the seven hour drive from San Francisco so we found a great motel called The Hollywood Downtowner.
We pulled in and snuck Mister into the room.
We made it!
It was 1 am and I had to get up at 6am for my 7:30am meeting with Danny Wu at Rancho Park.
It was very early when I woke.
The traffic was already horrible at 6:45am.
Still, I arrived early and Danny was waiting for me at Rancho Park.
The future home of our LA Events.
It was a great meeting.
He is a lawyer for the biggest and best law firm in the world, SKADDEN, www.skadden.com
I couldn't have hoped for a better start.
Danny looks a lot like Tiger Woods.
I couldn't believe it.
We talked for 1.5 hours.
He suggested I start a blog on my first day in LA.
So after I was done with our meeting, I went over to Bonny Dodd's home and set one up as I sat in her driveway.
This is the first entry.
Thank you Danny.
Sloan is back at The motel waiting for me along side Furzy.
Our van is parked out front.
It fits perfectly at The Hollywood Motel.
We lived in room one for our first night in LA and it was great.
I cant believe I made an appoint for the first morning in LA.
Obviously I wanted to hit the city with everything I got.
I will never give up nor will this vision and adventure ever end.
I just pray it gets a little easier.
Here we go.
So Playas out there...dont forget to Tee it up.

THE REVOLUTION IS UPON US!
