So what is perseverance and what does it mean to you? While you ponder that, consider the following.
We've all heard the phrases "Hang in there", "Hold On" and "Don't give up". They all remind us that perseverance is never easy but one we are glad of if we can make it to our goal. So what is perseverance and what does it mean to you? While you ponder that, consider the following. Johnny "Appleseed" Moyar said last summer at the OI "Chipmunk Whack-a-Mo Open" that this sixteenth hole, called "Perseverance", was "probably the hardest four par I ever played." As a par 4 (with 409 yards from the green tee), the drive is over the north corner of Smoky Hollow Lake, and must also be kept short of the creek on the left side of the fairway. The right rough is no bargain either, since the narrow, elevated green angles away and is difficult to hold. Hole locations along the right side bring the lake back into play. Anything can happen here. You just need to remember if you think you can't, you won't and if you want it bad enough, you'll do what is needed. And if you're not sure how - remember: “Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever sell out. And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off. But never, ever, ever give up.” —Richelle E. Goodrich
