Congrats my friend Dion. You have worked hard over the many years.
What I would like people to know is where this chap is coming from. Small village boy who came to the golf course many years picking up balls and selling them to the more fortunate ones. Antigua is an example that we should never let certain sports become only affordable for the elite class. And I tell you if the government didn’t have the foresight to take a stake in the operation, they would have made it so long time ago. Just go to places like Barbados and you’ll see the discrimination in the sport. You have to belong to a certain class in order to play golf. At one time in Antigua a monthly golf membership was cheaper than a gym membership. However, the perception was always that it was an expensive sport.
Keep on, keeping on! All of us must know this and never, never forget it:
“God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.”
