Arlington’s Cox wins Man of the Year Award
Glenmore Jones
Register Golf Columnist
At the fall conference of the Kentucky Turf Grass Council on Oct. 22 in Bowling Green, Arlington course superintendent Jim Cox received the Man of the Year Award.
This award is given to the person who does the best job of keeping turf alive, vibrant and green, not only on golf courses but any athletic field like baseball, polo, football, racetracks and soccer.
This is a well-deserved honor as the greens and fairways at Arlington are in the best condition and prettiest that I have ever seen them.
The greens are also (gulp) the fastest I have seen them.
Jim is a nice man and is very helpful to anyone who seeks his advice. He has helped me several times with questions I had on marking greens and maintenance.
Mahalo, Jim, and congratulations on a job well done.
You da man!
Golfers wisdom
Nancy Lopez says — Great champions have an enormous sense of pride. The people who excel are those who are driven to show the world — and prove to themselves — just how good they are.
Walter Hagan says: No one remembers who came in second.
Hey chokers!
Take heart.
You are right next door to being a champion.
Dr. Dave Striegel, who is a sports psychologist, says that in order to choke you must first be in position to succeed. You don’t often hear of someone choking who is 15 strokes off the lead.
The reality is we all choke occasionally. A little farther away from being a winner is a person who loses his temper or thinks in a negative way. Dr. Dave says that showing anger means you are at least fighting even though it is misdirected at the moment.
The farthest away from being a winner is the tanker, which ranges from quitting to making excuses. This is generally people who lack confidence and a belief in their ability.
The next time you are going into that last hole all even and you hit a great shot in there, you can watch your opponent choke.
Maybe….
A record to shoot for
A week ago I read about a retired minister in Western Kentucky who began writing a column called “Something to Think About” at the age of 101.
He passed away at the age of 108. He lived in a nursing home and wrote his column on an electric typewriter.
Wow! What a man. I’ll bet he died happy.
Final thought
Never allow yourself to become one of those people who, when they are old, tell you how they missed their chances — Claire Ortega.
Until next time … live, love, laugh and learn, Glenmore.
