Today, I want to tell you a story about a man who has his priorities straight. A man from whom we can all learn a lesson. A man so committed to his friends and an ideal called the golf trip that as I write this, tears are falling on my keyboard.
This man has a wife whose birthday is June 2. This man has a child whose Open House at School is on June 2 this year. This man has another child who just yesterday made the All Star team as a rookie. This man was begged by the league to coach that team. The All Star tournament happens to be June second, third, and fourth.
So I ask you now, what do you think this man did when he found out about all this stuff? A lesser man might have said, “Sorry guys, but things have come up and I’m out of the trip.” Or, “My family needs me and I should be there for them.” Or, “My daughter has a ballet recital on Wednesday and I’m playing golf on June 5 and I have to get ready for my anniversary cruise the second weekend in June, so I can’t go. Plus, I really didn’t want to go anyway.”
No, this man simply said, “I’m still in. I made a commitment and I’ll keep it.”
Those are the kind of men we need on this golf trip. So when you see Scott Rojas in the desert this June, look him in the eye, shake his hand, and say “Thanks for coming to Palm Springs.”
Next year, the trip will be the second weekend in June, not the first, so that Scott can spend time with his family. If Michelle lets him back into the house after this year’s trip.
