I occasionally pay attention to golfer Stewart Cink<\/a> because he is the nephew of friends of mine in Montgomery, Alabama. During the Master’s<\/a> in April, I decided to look him up to see how he was doing, and there he was: age 47 and having a pretty good tournament, finishing tied for 12th and earning $218,500. The very next week he won his second tournament of the season (only a few players his age have done that). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I noticed at that tournament, played in Hilton Head, that he spent a lot of time talking with his caddy, who turned out to be his son, Reagan, age 24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ESPN, Stewart attributed his win to “smart preparation and strong execution” with his son. “We just kind of worked our game plan,” Stewart said. “We call it bludgeoning, and we’re just bludgeoning that plan almost to death…When you manage yourself around a course like that and execute, the golf courses yield.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stewart and Reagan certainly exemplified the old adage: “Plan your work and work your plan.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. (Proverbs 21.5, ESV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
