As a general rule, I am not one that likes change. I like to float along in the same sea of comfortable, warm and cozy consistency of status quo.

If left to my own devices, I imagine there is at least an even odds chance that I would still be a golf pro, still living in the small apartment above the pro shop, still working six days a week. Miserable, and yet, somehow content in the numbing, yet comforting, sameness of it all.

From the opening seconds – with the elevator cabling clanging in the background behind me – I was totally enthralled with the technology.
