Day 10 of the “Journey to Olympic Golf” (JTOG) was my first “day-off.”I found that one day in a place was never enough. Two days gave me a chance to look around and take a lot more in. Three days was never enough either because once you are there for three days in places like the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas you never want to leave. Especially if they had golf like the TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas Course!

The break in Dallas was much needed as I continued to make contacts and plan for the rest of my time in the ‘Texas Triangle’ of Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. Then there was Mexico, Central, and South America beyond the Texan frontier. As it turns out it was a 100-day odyssey so I was 10% through. I knew by this time JTOG was going to be an extraordinary experience. In the first ten days I had already visited two Olympic cities, made friends with an Olympian, connected with the spirit of Bobby Jones, played hickory golf where Olympic golfers did in 1904, visited with Jack Fleck and played some exceptional golf courses! That scenario would only progress exponentially in the months ahead.
Where was I headed next? Today was a good day in that I was confirmed to be part of a Bloggers, Breakfast & Birdies at the JW Marriott at TPC San Antonio. I wasn’t exactly sure what it was at this point but it was the next logical stop on my way to Rio. As a bonus the visit included a media credential to the Champions Tour AT&T Championship.
One of the best video insights into what it means to play Olympic Golf was awaiting my arrival in San Antonio. Unbeknown to me, of course. What I did know was that I was enjoying my stay at the Four Seasons in Dallas and I was sure to enjoy my day-off and another night of luxury!
I am looking for 100 new friends in the next 100 days to make a $100 donation (or any amount that you are able to make) to The First Tee. Each day I will be reliving the original “Journey to Olympic Golf” and hope to find a new friend in golf. Is that you? Please join me in giving back to the game we all love.

With Vail Tolbert, the Director of Public Relations, who was the host for my visit.
The hospitality for my visit could not have been nicer, from the room, to this view, to the golf, to the food, all quite exceptional!
Thank you Mr. Nelson for the inspiration and insight to the ‘Spirit of Olympic Golf.’
