Sports Heros

I bet if you asked 1,000 kids to name the athlete they most admire, not one would answer with "J.P. Hayes".

Hayes is a professional golfer.

Now I don't follow golf, and so I am not familiar with Mr. Hayes or his abilities. I did, however, catch this story on the blogosphere and think that it is worthy of sharing:

Integrity is a rare enough attribute now-a-days that our kids ought to be reminded that there is more to being a great athlete than scoring points, or goals, or making par.
