So, I was flipping through some old sports stuff the other day, just sorting through boxes, you know how it is. Found some magazines from way back. Got me thinking about different athletes and eras.
My mind landed on Phil Mickelson. Watched him play for so many years. Naturally, thinking about Phil made me think about his wife, Amy. Remember when she was going through her cancer battle? Seemed like the whole golf world was pulling for her. She always seemed like such a strong presence alongside him.
Thinking About Connections
Then, completely out of left field, Michael Jordan popped into my head. Now, obviously, MJ and Phil, they’ve crossed paths. Everyone knows MJ loves golf, loves to gamble, and he’s been in plenty of pro-ams. Seen pictures of him and Phil golfing.
But my brain went down a different path. I started trying to remember specifically about Amy Mickelson and Michael Jordan. Had they ever met? Was there some story I half-remembered reading or hearing about years ago? It felt like a connection was tickling the edge of my memory, but I couldn’t quite grab it.
I spent a bit just sitting there, trying to piece it together. Was it something like:
- A charity event maybe? Lots of celebs show up for those.
- Maybe something around the Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup scene?
- Or just one of those things where famous people run in the same circles sometimes?
Honestly, I wracked my brain for a while. Dug through a few more old articles, just skimming headlines and photos, hoping something would click. Did Jordan ever say something supportive during her illness? Did they interact at some tournament party? It felt familiar, but the details were just… gone. Lost in the mental attic somewhere.
Hitting a Wall
Couldn’t find anything concrete in my little trip down memory lane. Maybe I just mentally put two famous names together because I was thinking about high-profile sports figures and their families. It happens, right? You mix up details from stories you heard ages ago.
It’s funny, though. Didn’t really solve the little mystery I’d cooked up in my head. But the process itself, just thinking back and trying to connect dots, that was kind of interesting. Made me think about how separate these worlds seem sometimes, but how they can overlap in unexpected ways, especially with figures that big. Anyway, that was my little mental exercise for the afternoon. Didn’t land on a specific story about Amy and MJ, but it definitely got me thinking.
