The Influence of Rich Steinmetz
Richard Steinmetz has been the most influential person in my life. He is not the type of person you base your entire life on, however, he is the type of person that you listen to and take his advice into account while making a decision. I met Rich when I was eight years old, I went to his house and asked him if he wanted to play a game of football with my friends and me. Since that day we have been inseparable. Rich is basically the reason that I will be able to succeed in obtaining my dream of being a golf professional. He does not play all that well, but he really can teach the game. Rich has become the most influencing figure in my life, because when he wants something he goes out and gets it. Rich also lives his own life and does not let anyone but himself make decisions for him.
When I was twelve years old, Rich took me golfing in the middle of December. That was my first golf experience, and from that day on I was addicted to golf. Rich has taken it upon himself to form me into the best possible golfer I could be. I played in the Irish Junior Open last summer in Shannon, Ireland, and the whole week leading to the tournament, Rich was with me pushing my swing into shape. I then went on to win the Irish Open by two strokes. I credit that win to the person behind it all. Rich convinced me that it is impossible to get what is desired without wanting it bad enough.
I have always been able to count on Rich to help me through situations, be it good, bad, or anything. He is the brother that I never had, yet always wanted. Rich has gotten me through a lot of relationships. He is always willing to help me out no matter what is going on. He could hate the girl that I was dating yet would just push that aside in order to help me in any way possible. No matter what the situation I got myself into he is always there to get me out of it and make me laugh.
