The Josh Hamilton Story: Why Statistics, Achievements, and Awards Can't Always Measure Success - MidwestSportsFans.com - Zach Gropper - Josh Hamilton has evolved from a tainted figure and despicable waste of talent into a pure and influential role model.

The PGA Tour pros who arrived at the hole Thursday during the first round of the Players Championship likely aren’t aware that annually, 120,000 balls kerplunk into the four feet of water that surrounds the green. -- “That golf hole makes you nervous even when you’re playing a practice round,” said former U.S. Open champ Johnny Miller, who will serve as an analyst this weekend on NBC. “I love nervous holes, and holes that you have to sort of answer to. It’s a fantastic hole.”
