SLEEPING WITH THE GREEN JACKET

How bad do you desire that which you hope to achieve? How much does it mean to you when you achieve that goal?

"One of the great traditions is the awarding of the green jacket to the winner of the Masters. Tiger Woods wore his jacket proudly at the champion’s dinner that night. He was wearing it for himself, his parents, his teachers, his heroes, and the millions of people who believed in him. Later that evening, during a celebration party in a house Tiger had rented for his stay at the Masters, Tida Woods noticed her son was missing. She went to an upstairs bedroom and found Tiger fast asleep, clutching that green jacket like it was a teddy bear."
