- INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE & WHY | "Obstacles do not have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." - Michael Jordan
In both sport and life, we are faced with many difficulties. In golf, one can have bad shots and bad breaks. In life, one can have many other difficulties.
