2016 High Country Charity Golf Outing

On Saturday August 20th we participated in the 6th 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.  A summer storm rolled in just before the start of the tournament.  The rain and lightning hung around long enough to cancel the golf.   Despite the rainy weather, they still raised over $70,000 for the Military Order of the Purple Hearts - Flagstaff, AZ Chapter! We were so glad to be part of this great event to help support the local veterans in Flagstaff.

The weather did clear up to allow just enough time to play nine holes for those dedicated golfers who held out through the rain. Yes, that included Tim and I, along with our good friends Dan and Cindy Smith.  It was a great round of golf while we enjoyed the cooler weather.

Cedar Rapids Open - Day 1 & 2

This week Tim started the Cedar Rapids Open at Hunters Ridge.  The Pro/Am scheduled for Tuesday was canceled due to bad weather.  The weather then turned to hot and humid conditions for the rest of the week.  Luckily this event has local high school golfers available for caddies in the tournament.

Tim shot 73 in the first round followed by 69 in the second.  He made the cut on the number for the third day at -2, T47.  He will give it his best to shoot a low number on Saturday and move up the leaderboard.

Here's a link to check the status of the last round.  Good Luck Tim!!
