uring his formative years as a South Carolina assistant golf coach, Michael Burcin got in the habit of documenting his “brainstorm- ing’’ on a laptop. Whenever he got an idea, he filed it away.
Burcin preserved nearly everything; notes, quotes, maybe even some anec- dotes.
“Riding in the car, you might have something that pops into your head,’’ Burcin said, “and I thought I needed to keep track of this stuff. It really piqued my interest, so I started doing it.’’ Mostly, he related everything back to becoming a better and more understand- ing coach through his evaluation of ev- ery situation that might come up during recruiting or the course of a season.
