Sports are my love, my Achilles heel and my passion. This year has been a rollercoaster of sports ups and downs in the shadow of the pandemic. Foremost in the disappointing category for me was that after the swirling speculation, the 2nd week of August 2020 brought the official announcement that the Big Ten athletic conference was postponing it’s Fall sports season. Needless to say, for our Rutgers home team players and fans, the collective disappointment was profound.
I guess you could say my Big Ten blues hit the roof and it took my teen-age daughter only seconds after seeing me sulk to suggest the antidote; “Dad, you need a Morikawa Monday to get chipper again.” Smart kid!
She was referring to Colin Morikawa who took the golf world by storm and delivered the most dazzling final round of golf to win the 2020 PGA championship in August. We were all glued to the tube watching this 23 year old newly turned pro turn the golf world on it’s head and his victory spurred a spontaneous family celebration (and great cookout I might add!) that was a highlight of our summer.
So off we went to the links that next Monday for a dad-daughter day of golf and voila…missing the Big Ten went right on the back-burner 😉
