Emphasis Preaching Journal

Mike Weir was the 2003 Masters champion. He spent 110 weeks as one of the world's top ten golfers from 2001 and 2005. It looked like his successful career would continue; but unfortunately it was set back by elbow and wrist injuries. Despite his physical handicaps, Weir did not give up nor did he lose hope. At the age of 41, financially secure, Weir continued to compete. Then in the summer of 2011 he began to regain his game but a comeback was still on the distant horizon. His fortitude is reflected when he said, "I'm going to dig my way out of this, no matter how long it takes."
