MiscellaneousIf you would’ve told me a few days ago that I’d be driving the press van in a presidential motorcade for the First Lady, and that my wife and I would get to shake hands and take a photo with her…I might’ve thought you were kidding.
Driving in a motorcade is definitely an experience. You’ve got traffic parting like the Red Sea, police cars zipping around at high speeds, people staring, and you’re running stop signs and red lights, which is fun, but it also takes incredible focus. You must tailgate the car in front of you to keep everything moving smoothly and the motorcade tight.
Interestingly, all the mental training from my years of playing professional golf came in handy to keep calm and grounded in the middle of all the buzz and chaos.
Super cool!
