Tom Watson, two caddies, and the Code

Tom Watson’s caddie Neil Oxman said he’d go on ahead up the 18^th fairway at the Masters so that Watson could enjoy the ovation alone as he approached the green.  “No way,” said Tom, “you’re walking up the last hole with me.”  Earlier, as they came to the 13^th tee, Tom had left an egg salad sandwich on the bench, a tribute to a former long-time caddie Bruce Edwards who had died 12 years earlier of ALS, and who always had an egg salad sandwich on that tee.  Two caddies, two stories, and one Tom Watson.  The Code says, “I will be a positive influence on the relationships on the team.”  Even in the midst of competition, when all eyes were on him, it was the “team” that was most important to Tom, and his example is one from which we can all learn.  Who are the members of your team that often go unrecognized?  What opportunities do you have to recognize them?
