Who’s excited for camp season? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Today was a special day, I had the privilege of caddying for one of my students in the final qualifying stage for the Canadian Open. I’ve been teaching and coaching him since he was 8 years old, and to be able to walk beside him and be part of this experience was an incredibly proud moment for me.
While the result wasn’t exactly what we were hoping for, days like today remind us that success isn’t always measured on the leaderboard. The experience gained, the lessons learned, and the understanding of what it takes to compete at this level are all part of the journey.
For us, that’s still a win.
I’m incredibly proud of the player and young man Dimitri has become. I have no doubt that he’ll be back in this position again, and when he is, he’ll be even more prepared.
Keep believing and keep working.
