Say what you want about chuck. Listen to how he addresses and makes Eddie known even more than the obvious KD sitting next to him. He treats a complete stranger with respect. My father was in the army and was a special guest at a PGA event that Charles was at. My pops is an old school man that don’t speak much and he said out of all the a list guys only Charles spent most of his time with random strangers behind the taped of area.

The way he spoke to Eddie you couldn’t even tell whether they did know each other or not. Just shows even more how genuine Chuck really is

[@RepentOrPerishL133]

@@ICreateShit I'm a year younger than Charles we both grew in Alabama at same time. He/we say, "I tell people" "I always say", because we are often telling people the lessons we learned. There isn't anything new going on today. The motives of people haven't changed. Technology and culture gives you greater access to indulge those desires. When you're young, you make a bunch of stuff matter that doesn't really matter. You make life unnecessarily hard. You waste, time, energy, and money on foolishness. If you get old, you reflect thinking, if only someone had told me or if only I listened. Learning by trial and error is expensive and exhausting. You can do it. I just don't recommend it. It's a bad strategy. So Charles/I try to tell as many young people as we can our lessons learned. I make myself available for questions. Time is short. Life from 18 -60 years goes quickly, and there are no do overs. The time you spend trying to recover from dumb decisions (people/things) you will never get back. That's why like Charles, I give it to you straight. There's no time to pretend and ignore the elephant stomping through the house (your life). I speak the truth in love and I guess it comes across funny sometimes because it's "straight". He and I just want to help young folks quickly identify what truly matters. Protect that and ignore the rest. In summary, keep it simple and keep the regrets at a minimum.
