Tears in his eyes, I guess, as he lines up this last shot. that's- oh, he got all of that one! He's gotta be pleased with that! The crowd is just on its feet here. He's got about 350 yards left, he's going to hit about a 5-iron, it looks like, don't you think? He's got a beautiful backswing. for this young Cinderella who's come out of nowhere.

The normally reserved Augusta crowd is going wild. The crowd is standing on its feet here at Augusta. He's about 455 yards away, he's gonna hit about a 2-iron, I think. What an incredible Cinderella story! This unknown, comes out of nowhere, to lead the pack at Augusta.But the man worthwhile is the man who can smile when his shorts are too tight in the seat'. 'It's easy to grin when your ship comes in and you've got the stock market beat. I have a little poem I'd like to read in honor of this occasion, if I may.How would you like to come over and mow my lawn? Danny, I'm having a party this weekend.So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So we finish eighteen and he’s gonna stiff me. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking.

So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. It’s as powerful as a rocket and can be as quiet as an owl. I don’t have another word for it, but this one seems just fine. At the end of the day, I feel I sometimes need a bit of replenishment, but in the morning, I’m charged up with it to the brim. It’s not too serious, but it’s of utmost importance. It’s lightness, it’s a knowing that all is going to be OK and to stop the struggle and let something larger lead the way.

He feels as if he has been given something special, now has something special, as if he is someone special and the fact is, that’s all he needs.ĭoes everyone have this? Now I never caddied for the Dalai Lama, but somewhere along the line, someone gave me a gift like Carl received and I have it. But his belief in “what he’s got going for him” is so genuine that it fuels his passion and quells any fears. I openly admit to being a card-carrying Carl Spackler fan and unabashedly quote from Caddyshack as if were the Old Testament. What was only a short time ago was the foundation of your existence is as light as toast. What was previously important might become less important–or more important. My explanations helps my kids little: when you experience mortality in someone close to you, it changes, no, alters, no, transforms your perception of your own reality. I have a hard time teaching the concept to my kids (well, on second thought, it can be challenging to teach the ideology to adults) without them thinking that I’m talking about goofing off or slacking or wasting time and avoiding “real work.” In fact, I think it is not one or the other, but the two together. It is both the innocent imagination of a 3-year old and at the same time the ease of flow of an ancient master. Oh dearest reader, the deeper I dig into the struggles and questions and answers of life, the harder I work and more I search with furrowed brow, the more I hear the answer clearly whispered to me in a single word: play. Enough goofing off, it’s time to get serious.
