PuirposeFull Success
By leveraging my personal experiences, the launch of The Generation Next Project, the discovery of new influencers, and my love for and lineage to golf, this book and program launches with the misspelling of the word “purposeful” showing that imperfections sometimes bring out unintended but more impactful results.
This launch pad opens up the opportunity to create a story and message that provides others with a guide to identifying one’s purpose, to fill their life with that purpose, and to measure success by the result that purpose has had on yourself, your family, and your audience.
Robert will reflect on the identity of his own strengths and weaknesses accompanied with the mental and emotional roles that have played into his journey. It is not his words and experiences that he feel will be the true value of the book, but rather the interviews a few of the world’s top golfers, entrepreneurs, mental health professionals, and sports psychologists that he feels will provide the book best-selling potential.
The “Unique Factor”:
The creation of a book and the process that goes along with it is a fascinating journey. That is why I am writing this book in the eye of the public through the widely popular platform, Substack. By subscribing to Substack, you will receive updates and manuscript excerpts as well as being able to view interviews with top PGA and LPGA players, the future stars of tomorrow, and other key influencers.

I’ve followed the highs and lows of Tiger Woods closely, from his amateur success to his pro career. After last year’s Tour Championship win, I wrote Woods and reflected on the words of my great-grandfather, Bobby Jones. “The main idea in golf as in life, I suppose is to learn to accept what cannot be altered and to keep doing one’s own resolute best whether the prospect be bleak or rosy.”
At that time, I felt that he had truly brought Bobby Jones’ words to life and that Woods had done the best that ever could be expected of himself, on and off the course. Like most, I misjudged the altitude of ascension.
So on Masters Sunday in Augusta, I was there to take in my first Sunday round and to cheer and applaud his efforts to take the comeback to another level. By 9 a.m., the final three tournament pairings were trickling out of the clubhouse, where an appreciative gallery of anxious patrons had formed a walking lane all the way to the practice putting green by the first tee. This included Olympic great Michael Phelps.
Suddenly, the clubhouse doors swung open, and after a brief pause, the familiar red shirt and black slacks appeared with the impact of a hammer on a nail, the long legs steered briskly to the course by the focused face of a living legend. And as Woods continued his steely march to the putting green, the chants from the crowd grew louder in unanimous support with all hearts hoping for a win.
He marched on like a stoic warrior.
I searched for a glimpse of doubt or weakness. No chance. On this day, with an early start because of storm threats in Augusta, and a nervous sense of urgency to finish the tournament, I knew this: With Woods, anything was possible.
As he went by, I wondered what a win could mean for golf, and more personally, to the legacy of Bobby Jones, as Woods’ two most recent victories were at courses associated with my family — East Lake in Atlanta, the course that introduced golf to Bobby Jones, and Augusta National, the course he founded.
