Three transplants saved my life and have given me the time and good health to play the sport I love the most. Golf can be infuriating, without a doubt, but it does lend itself to pondering the big questions as you walk from hole to hole (and try to make your way out of a sand trap, too).

In those long walks on the course, I have contemplated this question: what’s rarer? A triple transplant, or three holes-in-one?
