Wisdom from The Action Wisdom In Action

My thanks go out to Karen Myers, Gary Daum, Steve Richards and the rest of the team collaborating on the new Lodestone Golf course at Wisp Resort. I was lucky enough to be a guest this morning at a breakfast where none other than Hale Irwin, 3 time US Open Champion was the guest of honor. Hale is in town to check in on the progress of his signature course at Deep Creek Lake. He spoke openly and answered questions about the project, as well as entertaining guests with some of his stories about working in the area. I got a chance to chat with him personally, and he currently resides in Arizona. Naturally, that lead me to ask about my favorite basketball team, the Phoenix Suns. He is a fan, by the way. Hale also confirmed to me that he meant what he said about Deep Creek Lake and our resort area in general - "There is truly no better place to have a home, or a 2nd home than here". Based on Hale's accomplished resume and his travels, that really registered with this Garrett County native as quite a compliment!
An interesting tidbit from reading up on Hale: He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1992, and ranked in 2000 as the 19th greatest golfer of all time by Golf Digest magazine!
