While putting today, my wedding band came off. My partner and I looked for a good 45 minutes before giving up and going to search for a metal detector. It was already 95 at noon, and I was already sunburned from Saturday.
After running around town for about an hour and a half, I go back out to the course, find where I marked my bag lie/putt from, and start searching again. When all was said and done, I ended up finding the ring. But that's not the moral of the story.
The cool part is that I had not 1, not 2, but 3 DIFFERENT groups stop by, drop their gear, and help look for it. I counted 10 different heads (other than mine) looking for that ring throughout the course of the afternoon. Nothing compelled these groups to stop; I didn't ask for help. They all decided to help because that's just the type of people we are. And I'll be damned if I wouldn't have done the same. Helping to spot a lost or stuck disc, or busting out my Golden Retriever so some randoms on the course don't have to get wet - always remember to pass it forward. You never know when one day you'll be the one needing a helping hand.
So here's to you, random guys at North Lakes this afternoon. If any of you are reading this, I did end up finding the ring. If it wasn't for the kindness of everyone that stopped by, I probably would have lost hope and gone home to a super pissed wife. :thmbup:

I may come off as a snatch here, but I am quite pleasant in person.
