Sam Bennett - Masters tournament golfer whose dad had Alzheimer's

Have you heard about Sam Bennett? He's 23, and is playing in the Masters Tournament this year. His dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at age 45, passed 2 years ago. He has a tattoo on his arm of the last thing his dad wrote, "Don't wait to do something." I guess his dad said that to him, then he asked his dad to write it down. The tattoo is in his dad's handwriting.

My son is 22, so this hits home for me.
