Do you have to be a writer to write a tribute?

Why do we pen down tributes?

Penning down a tribute to someone you admire, like, or/and love is an enriching and emotional experience. It gives you the chance to acknowledge the essence the life lived, memories, and the legacy left behind. Doing it when they are alive makes it even more profound.

How long should a tribute speech be?

An average tribute speech lasts between 3 to 5 minutes. So, make sure you can give an essential oration about the subject in the time bracket. Remember that the longer it is, the more you are testing the patience of the crowd during the event, especially if it’s a funeral.

There is or was a golfer somewhere who is responsible for you playing the game. Partially or completely, you started playing this great game because someone else did, and they gave you that spark to try it out. Maybe they took you along, or took the time to teach you a thing or two.

Definitely my dad. At first, it was bowling and baseball. Bowling in the winter, baseball in the summer. I basically grew up in various bowling alleys, watching my dad, who was one of the top bowlers in the area. I started league bowling when I was seven. Then, in the summers, he was always one of the baseball coaches.

From a personal perspective: My oldest brother. He made me carry his clubs as a youngster and taught me the game from watching him. Got my first set of clubs from him and to this day he is my closest sibling. We currently live 500 miles apart but still get together to play at least once a year.

Mine was Jack Nicklaus in 1986. I was in my freshman year of college playing baseball, but I was growing disillusioned with the game. My coach was a macho a**hole who, during practice, tore his players down 100 times for every time he would say an encouraging thing or give a compliment.
