If you’re a golf fan like I am you may have see this story. But even if you’re not, it’s a great one.
Pro golfer Scottie Scheffler won The Players Championship on Sunday. As he walked off the 18th green most of his family were there to congratulate him. Including his 88-year-old grandmother, Mary. She lives about 20 minutes from the course just outside of Jacksonville, FL. She walked all 72 holes with Scottie from Thursday to Sunday of the 4 day tournament. Every single hole. 16 miles total! What a trooper. And it all paid off as she was about to watch her grandson win the whole thing.
When Scottie was asked at his post round press conference how he was going to celebrate he said “I dunno maybe grandma’s got some food at home, I know she has some good dessert”
Congrats to Scottie on the win. And to Mary on her 16 mile victory walk!

If you watched all of the Oscars last night there were a lot of speeches. 23 to be exact. But I actually didn’t think anybody was too long or boring. They were all pretty good and Kimmel and the “wrap it up” music did a great job moving things along.
How long exactly do they have for the speeches?
It was actually referenced by one of the winners last night. They get 45 seconds, and yes there is a countdown clock they look right at. This was put in place back in 2002, after that ceremony lasted four hours and twenty-three minutes! After that someone thankfully said “enough, we need a system”
Since then, the show has had the 45-second rule. Anyone who goes longer will be hit with the famous wrap it up music played by the orchestra.

If you’ve been looking for some motivation to starting running, working out, or just getting into a health habit I have the perfect story for you.
Back in 2020 when the pandemic started this 79-year-old teacher in Oklahoma began running a 5K every day She has now reached the point where it’s been over 1,000 days in a row! Can you imagine the shape she is in?
She says she only wanted to try it for a week at first. But after that it just became a habit and she kept going. Incredible.
See, you can do it too! All about getting off the couch and creating that habit or routine.
