I want to start this blog post off with some trivia:

What is the only movie that I’ve cried watching, and that makes me cry more every time I watch it? I’ll give you the answer below after talking about inspiration in golf, and in life.

This week has been filled with some amazing moments and terrific conversations. It started out on Monday, when my 4th grade, 6th out of 7th ranked daughter’s basketball team (I’m the coach) upset the #3 ranked team in the playoffs. If that wasn’t enough, we went on to shock the #2 team on Wednesday night after jumping out to a 10-0 lead. At the end of that game, I found myself standing center court watching my girls jump up and down with each other in pure celebration and joy. I got the chills just thinking about this week as I was typing this blog post. You can follow my coaching journey on my “other blog” about coaching youth sports.

Last night, I had the pleasure of spending more than an hour on the phone with Phil Bundy. If you haven’t yet heard about him, get ready. Phil is on a personal quest to play on the PGA Tour. More importantly is why he’s on that quest. Phil takes his own inspiration from his son Charlie. Phil’s quest really, if you think about it hard is about showing Charlie that life is all about dreaming big and having the clarity and guts to go for it.

As a parent, Phil has reminds us all of what is really important in life. As an entrepreneur, he’s given me the inspiration to push forward with Golf is Hard TV. As a golf fan, he’s given me hope that I’ll have a new favorite to root for on Sundays. As a parent, he’s pure validation that I’m on the right track.

One more story before I tell you what movie makes me cry. This one is best delivered via video (see below). I heard about D.J. Gregory a few months ago and chose to ignore it. But like all great stories and all great leaders, D.J.’s story is not going away. I heard about him again this morning on sports talk radio and raced to my computer to find this video:

We're back to lessons on Golf is Hard TV with episode 13... the first of a 2 part series on posture. Episode 1 lays out the basics and in episode 2, we'll head outside!

Be sure to follow us on Twitter:

Hey there GIH fans…during an earlier episode, we talked about the fact that not only will your golf game get a heckuva lot better here, but so will your lawn. NOW is the time to put down Step 1. This prevents the germination of crabgrass and gives it a jump start with some fertilizer too. Also, now is the time to put down lime to neutralize the soil. You can put them down together and should do it before it rains so it can get washed in.

I just picked up all four steps of the “Scotts Best " program, 15,000 sq. ft. bags were approx $215 (the price has gone up this year, and smaller bags are obviously less money), plus I will get a $35 mail in rebate (net cost $180). Not bad for the best fert you can get. So get out there, clean up the twigs and leaves and put down Step 1 (no need to completely dethatch the lawn prior to step1, you can do that later on).

Check out the link http://www.scotts.com/smg/ (no they don’t pay us….yet)…Good luck! Send me any questions and I will be sure to answer.

We're talking about golf magazines! Ever struggle with Golf Digest and Golf Magazine because the sheer amount of tips confuses you? Us too! We talk about how to read golf magazines and dish out some opinions.

Thanks for watching Golf is Hard TV!

You still have GIHTV, I like the kid at this point, a very confident 19-year old. My guess is Cink (NICE job beating Mickelson) will play the kid and on the other side, Justin will win and meet OHair (he’s been working really hard on his game). The finals: O’Hair & McIlroy. We will see.
