Читать книгу Your Best Shot - Jorge Croda - Страница 6
Foreword By Anthony L. Williams
ОглавлениеI have known Jorge Croda for many years and we have served together on many Boards and committees representing a cross section of causes and businesses.
The one thing that separates Jorge from others is his vision and drive to see that the vision is realized.
Ultimately he wants to see things improve and in this book, “Your Best Shot” he shares timeless lessons of a life well lived through the simple values within the game of golf. You will soon find the key things that you can do to create your own personal path of success for golf and life.
Jorge and I have traveled together many times. Often we have traveled to grow the game of golf and deliver messages of growth and positivity. Many times we have traveled to Washington DC to participate in activities such as National Golf Day and represent our home State of Texas in meetings with Congressman and other legislators. These meetings are critical as we teach others the environmental, fiscal and personal benefits of golf while welcoming new allies in our search for excellence. Jorge excels in these opportunities as he speaks with a passion and sense of urgency that everyone can understand. The pages of this book reflect the lessons of these journeys as Jorge transports you from course to course and into the very halls of leadership that have shaped our nation.
Jorge practices the methods and skills that he is teaching every day. He tests the value of new thinking and holds the truth of tradition in high value. This allows Jorge even in difficult times such as the recent pandemic to remain positive and take steps toward crafting a better life for himself and others.
He is a masterful coach that invests time and energy into all those he is connected with. His success as a golf course superintendent and player stem from a desire to take action using the best strategies and tools available while improving those around him. He sets a great example and is always learning and making the most of each day.
This will become apparent as you read through the book. Jorge is many things as you will discover. He is a husband, father, friend, superintendent, coach and entrepreneur to name a few but at the core of it all he has a servant’s heart and wants to a build legacy of excellence.
I encourage you to take notes as you read the book and reread sections that you find special interest in as this book will remind you to constantly work on improving your game on the links and in life. Jorge is sharing the details of his life’s journey in the hope that you can find encouragement and the path to success.
I join with Jorge in thought and prayer wishing each one that reads this book and embraces the call for excellence will find the joy and majesty of a life well lived and a game well played.
