Golf Marathon!

I plan on playing 100 holes of golf in 10 hours on May 2nd. Why? To benefit The First Tee of Dallas. Although I didn't grow up in a First Tee program, I had countless opportunities to help the First Tee program in San Diego while I went to school. I would go there frequently just to practice my short game, but always got caught in a chipping game or entire match with five or six elementary school kids who wanted to beat me for bragging rights and golf balls (if you lose, you have to give the winner your golf ball).

The First Tee program is amazing, taking what would be troubled youth after school and setting up a golf program that will teach them the values, morals, rules and ethics that come from golf but are transfered over into their life. Aside from being great kids, they are fantastic golfers. Some of the kids had up to 20 holes-in-ones by the time they are 12 years old! Granted, it is a very short par 3 course, but it is still very impressive.

Once a year, our whole SDSU golf team would meet out at the First Tee San Diego and we would have a match against their best players. Sadly, as confident as we seemed, we always knew we had to "bring it" to actually beat these guys. And some matches came way too close in the end!

The bottom line is that I loved hanging out with these kids, and watched a lot of them grow into really great golfers in the 5 years I played there.

The First Tee of Dallas Golf Marathon is my chance to give these kids more than just my time. So please make a donation on my page if you can. I have personally seen how this money is spent and it does a great thing for our youth today. Everything from the practice facilities, training devices, classroom education, and even rides home at the end of the day are all covered and improved by your donations. I have already made my $100 dollar donation, along with the grueling 100 holes of golf in 10 hours!!!
