Charity Golf Outings

It's always humbling to be able to participate in charity golf outings that acknowledge those who stand up for our freedom as well as support those who are afflicted by Cancer.

In August, we participated in the 7th Annual High Country Charity Golf Outing benefiting the Military Order of the Purple Hearts - Flagstaff, AZ Chapter. The event was held at Pinewood Country Club in Munds Park, AZ.  We played with our good friends Dan and Cindy Smith.  I must be picking up some of Tim's mad golf skills as I took home the prize for Women's closest to the pin!  We were so glad to be part of this great event to help support the local veterans in Flagstaff.

In September, Tim was invited to play in the Phoenix Arizona Leukemia Society (P.A.L.S.) Charity Golf Outing at Phantom Horse Golf Course.  This event is to help raise money for families afflicted by AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) and other forms of Cancer. Tim's group won the tournament with a final score of 55.  Tim was glad to be part of this event and plans on participating again next year.
