This week I played in the Jefferson County High School Tigers First Annual Golf Tournament. My team consisted of Heath Bass, Chad Bass, Derek Harden, and myself. It was a four man scramble for eighteen holes held at Jefferson Country Club. The Tigers had Kenny Knox and David Jackson, two PGA Professionals playing and had a pretty good field of players.

My team started off making birdies on the first seven holes and then parring the next two. Then, two birdies, a par, three more birdies, an eagle, a par, and a birdie to finish it off. We posted a 29/28 (57) which equaled -15 for the round. We placed first, with Kenny Knoxs' team placing 2nd with a 59, -13.

We won some free golf at Seminole Country Club and Killearn Country Club in Tallahassee, season passes to all Jefferson High School athletics, and some Tiger apparel.

Last blog I told you about an interview my sponsor had with the Tallahassee Democrat. It was published on Monday, but I have the link for the web posting and pictures. The link is http://www.tallahassee.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009908030316

Check them out and let me know what you think. You might also recognize Olivia Sorensen in a few of them.

The article explains what KP3 means, its goals, and what they would like to accomplish. Their web page is still in the process of being built, but as soon as it's ready, I'll post it on my blog.

This week, KP3 tested my shoulders and all the little muscles on the inside to see how healthy they are, and if there are any weaknesses or problems in them. The results came back good. Yes, for once, I am somewhat healthy! Today they tested my legs, and the results came back great. Mr. Jerry said that they are some of the best results he has seen in a while. Most people forget how important the legs are in a golf swing. They provide stability and a solid foundation to create massive amounts of power. They help with maintaining form, and they need to be in great shape to walk the course. Besides, have you ever tried walking a round of golf on your hands?

Yesterday, Dad and I took off and headed to Wakulla to play a round. Now keep in mind, he just had knee surgery four weeks ago, so.... never mind, I won't even start. Anyway, we had a good time and believe it or not, Dad played a pretty good round, shooting 84. I played well, making a few birdies and an eagle. We had a good time and I'm glad we went.

Only thirty-nine days until I leave for California! Things are looking great so far. My gracious aunt and uncle are making the majority of this possible. I can't wait to see them! I am still trying to raise the remainder of the funds needed, but the ticket has been booked for the 15th of September, and I will return on the 26th. I am very excited!

I will be out of the area until next weekend, returning on the 15th or 16th. Don't worry, I will be practicing a lot at one of my favorite courses, St. James Bay. Brittany just finished her summer nursing class and her family and I are going vacationing for a few days. Then it seems like as soon as we get back, she's back in school again. Nevertheless, she will make an awesome nurse. Believe me, it seems like every time I go to see her, she makes sure my blood pressure and pulse are in line. Not only do I have a "personal trainer" with my sponsor, KP3, I have a personal nurse, too! She doesn't think so, but she is extremely smart and is doing very well so far in her career.

I really appreciate all the emails I receive from each and every one of you. Mom and I laugh at how soon I get responses after I've sent the blog out. Sometimes it's just a few minutes.

I have a great group of people backing me, and I am getting new email addresses sent to me weekly. Right now my blog group exceeds 150 people and Mary Beth and Brittany post it on their Facebook, so there is no telling how many they reach. I appreciate their support and advertising for me.

Until next time,

Glen
