Golfing at Arnie's Course


Recently, my dad and I had the opportunity to go to Pennsylvania and play in a charity golf event held at Latrobe Country Club. This is the course that his dad managed and he grew up on. Now he is the President and his brother manages it.


We had the chance to meet him and he was extremely gracious to the 80 of us playing as he signed many things for a lot of us. He showed up in his cart which had to Callaway bags, plenty of golf balls, plenty of bottled water, a cd player built in, and brake lights.


Below are a couple of pictures from that morning. We played decent but were no where close to winning. The course had the fastest greens I'd ever played personally. On the practice green, I was missing 3 foot putts long by 6 - 7 feet. The greens on the course were just a tad slower than the practice greens. It was a wonderful opportunity.





A true legend of the game.

3 updates---Libby, My Wonderful Wife, An Avid Golfer








Here she is sporting her purse and her cute pink hat. What a doll. It's been a while since I posted a message. SInce our beach trip, I've been fairly busy at work. Lots going on there. Kristina is starting a part time teaching job this week at Kore Academy. I've joined a small group with some great guys that is going well.



I'd like to take a minute and just share with everyone who is reading this how wonderful my wife is. What an example she is to Libby. Whether its teaching her abc's and 123's or modeling her reliance upon God's Word daily, she is creating a wonderful home for Libby to grow up in. She also is a strong encouragement to me and does more for me than she will ever know.




Back to the blog, above is a picture of our recent visit to GattiTown. We were riding the Merry Go Round together. That's one of her favorite things to do. It seems like for every time she goes poo poo in the potty we're on our way here to celebrate the most recent accomplishment!

A little funny that a friend sent me. The avid golfer pictured above was a little misguided when he showed up to the Augusta National Golf Course with practice round ticket around his neck thinking he actually was going to PLAY the course. Security had to escort him back to his vehicle to place his clubs back in his car before re-entering to watch the practice round.
