Inspirational Story Of The Month- Just When You Thought Integrity Was Dead!

Jun 7th, 2010 | Category: Recent Articles

While some sports stars and celebrities make headlines for lying, cheating, drug abuse and adultery… this pro golfer silently (and amazingly) does the right thing…

Here’s an interesting ethical dilemma…
Think back to when you were a little kid. Let’s say 8 or 9 years old. I bet you had a dream that dominated your thoughts.
It may have been to become a policeman… or fireman… or President of the United States of America… or a football, basketball, soccer or baseball player.
Whatever it was… just about all 8 or 9 year olds have a dream.
Maybe you are among the small percentage of people who actually get to live out their childhood dream… Maybe you are living that dream… Right now.
Chances are, especially if your dream was to become a professional athlete, you fell short.
But, what if you had the opportunity to finally achieve that goal and live your dream with one little twist…
And that twist is…

You Had To Cheat To Do It?

Would you do it?
But wait, that’s not all, it gets better.
What of you could cheat to achieve your life’s dream – AND NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW, BESIDES YOU?
Now, would you do it?
It’s like that old question, “If you found a bag filled with stolen money and no one knew you found it and there was no way to get caught, would you keep it or return it?”
In today’s “me first at any cost” society, it’s clear what most people would do.
But, here’s where the story gets REALLY good…
Brian Davis is a professional golfer. You’ve probably never heard of him even if you’re into golf, which is another reason this story is so amazing.
Davis has never had a PGA tour win. As you can imagine, this is one of his BIG DREAMS.
And, he was on the verge of doing just that.brian-davis-picture
He was in a playoff against Jim Furyk at the Verizon Heritage. A playoff in golf means they were tied for first place and had to go head-to-head to decide who took first and who took second.
Off the tee, Davis’ ball went into some weeds. On his second shot, his back swing may have touched some weeds.
Who cares? In golf it IS a big deal. That’s because the rules state that hitting any material around your ball on the back swing constitutes a violation of the rule against moving loose impediments. It’s an immediate two-stroke penalty. In plain English – it’s a BIG penalty and in this playoff situation, he would surely lose.
Davis thought he may have seen the weed move on the backswing out of the corner of his eye. So what did he do? He…

Turned Himself In!


Not to the Police – but to the golf officials. After reviewing that video tape – it was true – He DID hit a weed on his backswing. This cost him first place. :-(
But get this: the infraction was so minor, they could only see the weed move during a slow motion replay. Without being prompted by Davis turning himself in, the odds of officials even noticing were akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Imagine that – a man so honest he relinquishes a life dream to do the right thing… even when he probably would never have been caught… because HE would have known… and… he wanted to do the right thing.
Brian Davis should be admired for this. Brian Davis should get sponsors for this. Brian Davis should be in the headlines for this. Brian Davis should be the role model for young men and women, even if they don’t golf.
