Keep Swinging, Your moment is coming

​I was watching the final round of the PGA Championship yesterday. It's one of the major events in men's golf. The main headline was Brooks Koepka winning his fifth major championship, but it's not the only headline worth reading.

There was a relatively normal golfer in the field named Michael Block. Block is a PGA teaching pro. He's spent most of his life giving lessons to guys who have dreams of playing on the pro golf tour and not actually playing on the tour himself.

But this weekend he found himself playing in the big leagues. And, as it turns out, playing like a big leaguer.

The crowds in New York fell in love with the guy. Seems anywhere you go people are universally drawn to an underdog story.

But no crowd - no underdog story - is completely ready for the chapter that played out on the 15th hole yesterday. That's where Michael Block pulled off one of the rarest of all golf shots, especially on this stage, and that is the elusive hole-in-one.

To say the crowd went crazy doesn't begin to capture the scene of this best-seller moment. The tears in Michael Block's eyes did, though. As did the tears in mine.

At the end of the round, when asked about the moment, Block said he knows that will be forever the most surreal moment of his life.

It's easy to look at a moment like that and think luck or fate or just good timing. But that takes away from the truth of that moment. It also limits our own chances of landing in the most surreal moment of our own lives.

Although not a tour level player, Block has been hitting golf balls and practicing most of his life. He's hit that hole in one shot thousands of times; yesterday it simply found the hole on a stage he'd been walking toward for a couple of decades.

We can get lost some days dreaming of our surreal moment in life. I'm a big fan of dreams, but I also understand the value of sometimes stopping and asking myself - am I moving in the direction of that dream?

Michael Block's shot landed where he hit it yesterday. And Michael Block landed where he'd been headed yesterday.

Where are you headed today? If you know the answer, you're a lot closer to your hole-in-one moment than you think. So keep swinging.

Your moment is coming.
