I’m going to add in a couple links that had special importance to me. As a very proud Kansas Jayhawk, I’ve been following golfer Gary Woodland since he started playing on the PGA Tour. Watching him win the US Open last weekend made me proud of my fellow Jayhawk alum. But there was another side story that shows Gary is a very special human being. It started with a special moment this past February and it continued after his UP Open win. I encourage you all to watch these two videos for a great story!
