This is the story of all those dads who put their heart and soul into making their young golfer a player good enough to play on professional tours. It is a universal story of trial and tribulation and all that goes into making a young player achieve ultimate success. This is the story of one of those players who had extraordinary talent and achieved great success as a junior golfer. His name is Brian Sinay. When Tiger Woods competed in high school, he managed to win three high school championships in Southern California, a feat that was as extraordinary as his three US Junior Amateur wins. Brian Sinay had a couple of chances to tie that extraordinary record. Although he came close, there were newspaper articles comparing the two accomplishments. Because Brian had the singular focus of wanting to play golf at Stanford, it was assumed he wanted to follow in the footsteps of Tiger Woods. Although partly true, Brian's drive and determination to get a scholarship to Stanford is only part of the story.The book Who We Met on the Way to Stanford: A Father's Memoir is also about what happened when he arrived at Stanford and the story behind the achievement of his goal. The story is about expectation and loss, about goals and achieving them, and it is about life and the ironies that it sometimes brings. This heart-wrenching story is one that all golfers and people who set goals will want to read.
