I'm here with Al at the Bill Dickey Invitational golf tournament in Orlando. It's an invitation only tournament that features some of the best minority golfers in the United States. The players room together, have curfews, wake up calls, and spend time together. Tiger Woods niece, Cheyenne is in the field.
As sort of an ice breaker, they had the kids fill out questionnaires/profiles about themselves. Then they had the kids stand up and read each other's profile. One of the girls read a profile of another female golfer who's last name is Payton. One of the questions is, "who is your hero?" She wrote, "My uncle, Walter".
My niece is playing in this event. She was excited to meet Cheyenne Woods. It was also very inspiring for her to meet so many minority golfers from all over the country.
