For many years nobody talked about adoption. I hate to say it this way, but a lot of men feel like they don’t want to adopt because it doesn’t make them feel like a man not having their own child. I’ve never felt like less of a man adopting. I look at Caleb and Dakota, and I don’t think of anything else except, God made this child in somebody else’s womb for us. There are so many beautiful kids out there who didn’t ask to be put in a certain situation; they’re just looking for love. It’s a blessing for Angie and me that these beautiful kids are now ours and we get to raise them. Winning golf tournaments is great, and I hope I can keep doing it, but I know that the most important thing I’m going to do in this lifetime is be a dad to Caleb and Dakota. – Bubba Watson
Because the Masters begins this week, I thought I’d hunt for some pearls related to golf.
But since the tournament doesn’t actually start until Thursday, I decided the first few quotes don’t have to related to golf itself, but words of wisdom from people famous for playing the game.
If you know anything about me or read much of what I write, you’ve probably figured out that I’m an avid fan of the Georgia Bulldogs.
Normally whenever a past or present Bulldog accomplishes something special, alumnae and diehard fans will call that person a DGD — the acronym meaning a “Damned Good Dawg.”
Bubba Watson played collegiate golf for the University of Georgia.
Watson may be called a DGD for things he’s done both on and off the golf course. He deserves it for winning the Masters golf tournament in 2012 and 2014.
but also for his generosity that resulted in more than $400,000 going toward a very worthy cause.
However, today’s message takes Watson to another level. He’s now even more than a DGD.
He’s a DGHB — a Damned Good Human Being.
