He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $ 20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $ 50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: Be a good person. ❤️

Does anybody else have crazy golf recall?
I can remember shots and scores from high school. I can remember my low and high scores from just about every course I've played.
I was thinking last night, "How many courses have I shot even or better for 18 holes?" Took me 2 minutes to make this list (yes, this is kinda bragging):
Best scores:
Indian Creek - 62 (-6)
Twin Pines - 67 (-5)
Airport National - 60 (-3)
Hunters Ridge - 70 (-2)
Fawn Creek - 71 (-1)
Saddleback - 71 (-1)
Wildcat - 70 (E)
Lawsonia Woodlands - 72 (E)
Elmwood (Sioux Falls) - 72 (E)
Legend at Giants Ridge - 72 (E)
Gardner Golf - 72 (E)

And what of the scoring sir?
Simple. We will base it around a word everyone understands…Par.
How many is a Par sir?
Mostly four but also three and five.
And Par is good?
Yes
So to be above par must be really…
Bad
Sir?
Below par is good, above par is bad. Sub-par can mean either depending on the context.
Will there be names for the other scores?
Under par scores will be named after birds, where one under par will be called a “birdie”. And over par scores will be named after bogeys.
What is a bogey sir?
Nobody knows. But one over par will be a bogey, two over par will be a double bogey, and so on.
Ah, so two under par will be called a double birdie?
If only it were that simple. Two under par will be called an eagle, for it is an auspicious bird that heralds good fortune.
And what of three under par?
An albatross.
That seems rather strange.
You may also call it a double eagle.
Wouldn’t a double eagle be four under par?
One would think, but no.
This seems like a lot to remember. How will a person keep track of their score?
For professional tournaments there will be score keepers and computers. However, for the official score we will rely on what your playing partner wrote down on a piece of paper.
And if that person makes a mistake you fail to notice?
Immediate disqualification. For this is golf— a game of honor and integrity with arbitrary rules & customs that shall be most strictly enforced. ⛳️

I dream of a game where the ball is white, except when it's yellow.
Is there a benefit to a yellow ball, Sir?
Nobody knows.
Shoes will have spikes, but the spikes will be soft.
Every club will have a number. Except wedges. Which will have letters.
Seems like all clubs should just have a number, Sir?
And yet, they won't. Because we are free men.
Shirts shall be tucked. We will exclaim "I can't believe that didn't drop" when a putt is missed.
This is honor.
I dream of a tour where only the top 100 stay.
And the rest, Sir?
Conditional status.
Fields will shrink because of daylight. Mondays will not be for qualifying.
This is progress.
Players will carry 14 clubs. But will only trust 3.
I dream of a game that will be loved. But no one will ever be satisified with their score.
What happens if I hit a drive WAY offline and a grandstand is in the way, Sir?
Free relief. But you must play from a fairway divot.
This is my dream.
