Wally, you will love this...
So i opened up my mail today and got something from Dr. Bob Rotella ...(surely you have heard of him Wal)... anyways, this got me thinking back to the first time i met him... (he is the worlds leading golf psychologist these days, btw)
in 93' i had just gotten authorized as a Golfing Machine Instructor...at the time, there were less than 75 worldwide... and i was teaching a few of my friends while they were in college... I happened to be at georgia tech one week when Dr Rotella came in to spend some time with the team...
to give you an idea, this is the team that was stacked with david duval and stewart cink, just to name the big boys...they were already #1 and at the time seemed a bit overboard for them to even need a golf shrink fucking with the mojo...i didnt ask, i was just lucky to spend some time with the guy and he definitely made me see some things in a different perspective...
okay, now the point of the Monday story....
you wouldnt really know it now, because Vertigo really changed his life, but david duval used to be the biggest douchebag cocksucker on the planet... practiced by himself, when he wanted and where he wanted...barely EVER spoke a word to teammates except stewart and when he did, it was always with this incredible "im so much better than you its a joke" attitude...
Rotella knew about it and it was the first thing he addressed in the very first team meeting... He took every player, coach and teacher and put us in a small room and made the players go person by person and give an honest opinion of each person in the room... for the majority, the people would say "i like him, nice guy, good guy etc" ... but then they would get around to duval... "fucking hate you, guy is a prick, dont like your bullshit attitude etc" it was one of the funniest bashings ive seen and sooooo very well deserved... when it got around to being duvals time to talk...he stood up and said "im david fucking duval and besides Bob and Puggy (coach) i dont give a fuck about any of you" and calmly sat back down...it was truly one of the funniest things i had seen...all the guys started laughing and he just sat there with an eat shit smirk on his face and said "im not kidding" and walked out...
i know he has spent a lot of time with Rotella since that day and every email i send Bob i always ask how david is doing...he always says the same thing... "when you go from being #1 in the world to being lucky to break 75, its humbling" he has definitely changed as a person and is actually a damn nice guy these days.
The friends of mine that are on tour still have mixed emotions about the guy because they remember just how big of a fucking clown he used to be, but for the most part, those guys out there are buddies...
anyways, the letter i got in the mail reminded me of that day and thats my Monday story for Wally...
