Yes, there are still a lot of very honest and good people in the world. Golfers I find are the best of the best. Over the years I have left clubs on the course and they have always been returned. Once, when we left Myrtle Beach in a hurry to beat the weather, I had a club mailed to me that I had left on the course. Last winter I left a club near a sand trap and the foursome behind gave it to the ambassador who got it to me two holes later. Strange how it works out, you do something for someone and it always comes back to you as favor when you need it.

I am a firm believer in Karma. What actions you do or put out in this world, good or bad, eventually come back to you. It may take months or even years, but it comes back.
A few years ago when I was visiting The Villages, I had a minor problem with my rental car. A very nice Villager took time out of his day (about 30 minutes) to assist me. Would that assistance from a total stranger happen in suburban Chicago? Maybe or maybe not. . .
