Church Charity Golf Tourney

This Saturday I was invited to play in a church charity golf tournament in Cairo, Georgia. I was paired with Mike Knowles, Aaron Boyette, and Caleb Burnette. They are all contractors, builders, erectors, roofers, etc... Mr. Knowles' crew just finished replacing the roof on my mothers house, Aaron Boyette is a Contractor for Pro Steel Buildings of Tallahassee and Caleb Burnette is a hometown friend with a roofing business in Tallahassee. Mr. Knowles told me about his tournament when they were working on our roof. So, Caleb called and we headed over to Cairo.

We got there early for our 8 o'clock tee time and got warmed up. The format was a 4 man best ball with many little games during the round and opportunities for other prizes. We played very well as a team and Caleb played awesome as well. We ended up placing second overall with a fifty eight, but we had a great time with a lot of fun.

I played well, hitting my irons good and a few crucial shots. I also won the long drive contest, hitting my drive about 315 yards. It was refreshing to play good after all my shoulder problems and everything else. Caleb and I had such a good time we left Cairo and headed to Thomasville to play another eighteen holes and then hit some more range balls.

I had forgotten to inform everyone on how the Sheriffs Golf Tournament that I helped out with went. It was great. We raised over seven thousand dollars and had a great time. I really appreciate the Sheriff letting me help with the tournament because it introduced my name to the public as well as opening many doors in the golfing world for me. As of now, I am helping 6-12 year olds learn and play golf on Thursdays from 9-2 for about 6 weeks. It sort of like what the US Kids Golf Association does for young kids. The opportunities that I am coming into are great and the people I am meeting and playing with are benefiting me greatly.

I am hoping to head down south to Orlando here before long when the time is right to compete again. I have been practicing a lot lately and feeling good about my game.

I have also started regripping, reshafting, cutting down, and golf club repair at my house. I learned how to do it so I could cut down on some my expenses related to club repair. It is actually very fun and I enjoy it a lot.

I would like to thank Caleb, Aaron, and Mr. Mike for the opportunity to play in the tournament this weekend and Caleb again for the round at Country Oaks.

I would also like to thank Jerry Latimer at TOSPT for rehabbing me back to health and getting me back in the swing of things. Him and his partner, Steve Trocchio have developed a program called KP3 designed for injury prevention. Later on I will give everyone more information on them and their program. I personally have used the program and feel as if it was very beneficial and helpful in my golf career. Instances such as my shoulder can be prevented and that keeps you from falling off track on your career. It not just for golfers or pro athletes but for overall health of anyone physically active. As I stated before, I will have more info to give you later.

I would like to thank everyone for the continual support through everything especially my Aunt Jackie. Thanks Again Everyone!
