Dear Nick...

Dear Nick Watney,
Hey man congrats on your latest win at Bethpage Black.  I watched every round and got so pumped when you were in both final groups in the weekend.  Man I love everything about your golf game, and watching you really makes me want to become a better golfer.  I don't know what it is, but I can connect to the way you manage your round, bounce back after mistakes, and the way you carry yourself on the golf course.  You never seem mad at yourself over a bad shot or a missed put, and you always seem to be having a good time.  Thats definitely something that I need to work on because as you and I both know, golf is such a mental game, and it can really tear you down if you let it get to you in the heat of the moment.  So I just wanted to let you know that I'll be working towards a "cooler head" while I play, and always keep in mind that my first priority is to have fun, no matter what the situation (you seem to do this even when there are hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line so...yeah props man).

Also wanted to say that I respect you for the way you handled yourself during this 2012 PGA season.  You seemed to pop up on a few leaderboards here and there, but as you would probably admit, you were having a pretty lack luster season; one that an accomplished golfer such as yourself would be disappointed about.  That was why I was so impressed when you silenced all the haters and won your first tournament of the season last week at the Barclays.  Not only was this the first tournament of the playoffs, meaning it shot you to the top of the FedEx points list, but it was also important for all those Ryder Cup captains to see that you still have incredible game and can bounce back after some bad play.  That is definitely something that I idolize in you and will take away for my own upcoming golf season.  Keep it up man and I know you'll do some more great things.  I know that if I follow your game, I'll improve my game as well.

Best of Luck,

Turner Meek
