    OK, I'll shed some light on the mystery.  Mike and I formed a bond many moons ago and I really enjoy his company.  We hadn't played in a while but got to together yesterday.  I made some suggestions to help his game which included changing his wedge set up.  After we played I decided to gift him the wedges.  I had some inclination that life had been dealing Mike a raw hand lately, but really had no clue of the extent .  My gesture caught him so off guard that he felt compelled to start this post.  He didn't want to name me for fear the beggars would have a field day.

    I genuinely enjoy practicing random acts of kindness, but selfishly it's usually on my own terms.  I have NO PATIENCE FOR BEGGARS.  Ask and you surely won't get it.    Be a kind, decent person and good things will come your way.

    The message from Carlin is something that I read often and keep on a wall in my office to remind me not to lose sight of what's truly important in life.  Man what at different world it might be if everyone read that just once a week.

    I like what Paul says about giving,

    "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

    Very nice Jake, class at it's finest.

    You know what really pisses me off?

    People who purposely use this section of the Forum as their pulpit.  As if whatever they have to say is relevant to the whole community

    Stow that crap Dunne. Show some respect to this golfing community.

    i have never posted in these forums, and only the 2nd time i look at them, and the post i read is about some guy talking about something him and one other guy know about......thats not a forum, what happened between the 2 was nice, and if he had said that fair enough, but he posts a thread which is basically saying either...i know something you dont know or 'guess what happened today? oh no actually i cant tell you.....'
