Matthew Gang: Hi Peter. What was your best memory at the golf course?
Peter Williamson: I think it was just meeting people from the different programs that are so passionate about the game and then also using the game to help others.
Williamson: I got to play with a few individuals that were really impressive. And my favorite part of going out and playing golf is meeting new people.
Gang: I totally agree with you on this one.
Williamson: But I really enjoyed Creighton Farms, I had not been out there before. It's a beautiful venue and a really fun golf course. Whenever you get to play one of the better courses in an area like DC and it's a special experience
Gang: Yeah, it is.
Williamson: Do have a favorite place to go in DC?
Gang: My favorite place is the monuments.
Williamson: Down on the National Mall and you can see a lot of the monuments that are there. I really enjoy getting into the public spaces as well. There's a really great park that runs down the center of the city called Rock Creek Park and it's just a really great space to hang out and walk.
Gang: How has your year been since we saw you last?
Williamson: Certainly not as expected with the quarantine and pandemic. It has changed a lot of what I've been kind of focused on. I’m hoping that everyone is staying safe and I've been trying to help a lot of people from home with the work that I do.
Gang: Can you tell me anything cool that happened to you since last year?
Williamson: Anything cool that happened while I'm turning 30 on Thursday, but other than that not much in the last six months. Unfortunately, but late last year I started working on a really great project and hopefully it will allow me to get out to the golf course more because It's all about building relationships. And I think one of the things that I've learned is that I need to take a step back from the computer from time to time.
I just went out on Saturday morning after I woke up at four to be the first tee time at a golf course. And it was really great. I haven't done that since I was a little kid, getting up super early to beat everyone to the golf course and to be able to play.
Williamson: I used to do it be a professional golfer, but now I am stuck in front of a screen all day so anytime I can get outside is a plus.
Gang: How is your golf game. Do you have a great golf story to tell?
Williamson: The fact that I've actually played one hole of golf is a good story. But my golf game is pretty good considering I haven't practiced much. I just went out on Saturday morning after I woke up at four to be the first tee time at a golf course. And it was really great. I haven't done that since I was a little kid, getting up super early to beat everyone to the golf course and to be able to play.
Gang: Exactly. I play with my dad a lot, so that's fantastic. Whenever you get to play with your family.
Williamson: That's wonderful. What's your favorite golf story?
Gang: Good question. Every par-three and when I come close and I am going to birdie!
Gang: I wish the virus will be over soon maybe by November or December.
Williamson: Me too, at least to a point where we feel like we're safe enough to get to see the other.
