0 Comments
Hindsight is 20/20… Ever hear that expression? It’s one of my favorite because it rings so true and it was created solely for the purpose of tormenting me by reminding me of opportunities lost! One of my biggest hindsight is 20/20 moments was a couple years back, when I visited Scotland and DIDN’T play golf…
