But it's a particularly good lesson for all those people who want success or fame FAST.
Darren has been a great golfer for many years, and has had lots of success along the way, but he hasn't won as big a tournament as The Open.
Until now.
As every golfer knows, you can play well and not win, and over the 20 or so years that Darren has been playing, some would say that his finest days were over. They won't be saying that now.
Darren has shown the world - and , more importantly, himself - that major success can come at anytime , as long as you are ready for it. Over the years Darren has been through some heart wrenchingly difficult times and you could argue that he wasn't ready to win big.
Now, having turned a few mental and emotional corners he is at his best and absolutely deserves the attention and acclaim he is being given.
So for those of you who dream of reaching your goals - take a lesson from Darren that has nothing to do with golf:
1. Never, ever, give up on your dream.
2. There is no such thing as 'too old'.
3. Dream big - make it worth holding out for.
4. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and support you through thick and thin.
5. In your darkest hour, and in the face of adversity - refuse to be crushed.
6. Success isn't for the young. It's for those who want it the most, and who are ready.
7. Anything is possible, keep looking for ways to make it happen.
8. Stay cool, have fun. It shows, and wins you support and admirers.
9. It's not about the golf. It's about you as a person.
10. Never give up. Ever.
Well done Darren. For proving so many people wrong, for achieving something special and for giving hope to everyone.
A lesson learned.
Amana.
Straightforward, straight talking coach.
