A Break In The Action? - Well.....

This week is the 3rd Annual St. Mary's Catholic Church golf tournament. Kind of a different focus for me, because I am co-chair of this. In truth, Nancy Howard who is the other co-chair is pretty amazing in terms of what she has accomplished in working to get things in place for this week.


I have a great appreciation for people who have chaired golf events for years and years. For example, the Oak Ridge KFI tournament has been going on for more than 30 years, and the people who organize it seem to have the same enthusiasm for making it work this year as they had in 1990 when I first played in it.


I also have a great appreciation for people who play in these kinds of events. We have 13 teams in the St. Marys tournament this year - more than last year, but not as many as we hoped. But there is another local tournament going on the same day, and I know of a third going on this week. We are delighted that we were able to attract 13 teams to play.


Our hope is that all of the players who are in the event will feel like they each got something out of it that made it worth it, besides the donation to the event. Today I was loading event goodie bags with some of the things that we purchased for the players.......and we think we have found some things to give to them that they will find worth their time.


So there you go................now down to final planning, putting it all together on Thursday, and in particular hoping for great weather! And being thankful for people who take the time to help make events like this work.


Next week..............blogging from Columbus, GA!!
