Something to Say, Part 2
THIS IS THE WEEK! Do Good Talks 2025 begins one week from today, on May 9, and if you haven’t registered yet do it now. https://dogoodu.com/do-good-talks-2025 It doesn’t get any simpler than that, and we really want to see you there. We have people coming from Tennessee, from Illinois, from
Something to say…
Starting in the year 2000 and going through 2022, an annual auction was held for lunch with Warren Buffett. In case you don’t know Mr. Buffett, nicknamed “The Oracle of Omaha,” he is the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, and has been since 1965. (Mr. Buffett is now 94.)
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Have you ever had one of those days? I mean like the title of this article days? A day where you experienced the entire gamut of life in a 24 hour period? You could almost feel like you were a pawn (or some other chess piece) in a cosmic battle
The Golf Club that hosts the Masters does good
Even if you aren’t a golfer, you might know that one of the biggest tournaments every year is called the Masters. The tournament was first held in 1934 on a golf course that was co-designed by Bobby Jones, the greatest amateur golfer ever, and Alister MacKenzie, one of the greatest
People are crazy
Some readers will recognize that phrase as the title of a song by Billy Currington. Written by Bobby Bradock and Troy Jones, it tells the story of a young man sitting next to an old man in a bar, having some beers and “swappin’ I don’t cares.” Then the old
Jimmy Buffet Escapes
How I got there was an interesting path, but where I landed was even more interesting. It was on a longish quote by Jimmy Buffet about his music, copied here. “It’s pure escapism is all it is…I’m not the first one to do it, nor shall I probably be the
Are you entitled?
Perhaps you know the name Nick Faldo. If you have followed professional golf in the last ten years, the odds are pretty good that you do. He’s a British lad who achieved a lot in the game and has now become a popular announcer of golf for CBS. The other
Does doing good come with risks?
A new friend asked me recently if people who routinely do good (he was referring to Christians, but the question applies to anyone) are likely to be taken advantage of by those who do evil. It’s a good question, and I thought I’d written about it not long ago. But
Setting the bar just a little lower
Way back in the dark ages I took — as many did — a high school class in geometry. Or perhaps it was calculus, though I doubt it. The reason is that math in general did not appeal to me, and the esoteric side of math left me cold. Addition,
Pain. Is it just a pain, or a chance to do good?
A friend and I were discussing history at lunch this week. That makes us sound “academic,” I suppose, or philosophical, but our topic was not American History or World History, it was golf history. As it turns out, this friend (Dennis) and I have a lot of things in common.
You Are What You Eat, so they say
If “they” (above) are correct, I am currently a banana. I have been accused of being bananas, so perhaps we’ve found the cause! In point of fact, the original statement was not to be taken literally. That was way back in 1826, when this phrase was used in a book
Good is Greater than Safe
Life, in so many ways, can be full of surprises. One way I’m often surprised is by meeting new friends, especially out of — as the saying goes — the blue. In the middle of this week, for instance, I was invited by a good friend to play in a
