I PLAYED GOLF FOR 24 HOURS STRAIGHT AND LIVED TO TELL THE TALE

I hit the links to benefit Folds of Honor in an event held during the 2019 SAS Championship.

Walking up to the range, I saw a line of Senior Tour Professionals hitting balls, getting a lil practice in after playing their opening round for the SAS Championship that day.

There were a few open spots… Justin (my playing partner) and I made our way inside the ropes.   

My heart was racing already, worried about the feat ahead: playing golf for 24 hours straight.  I had been awake already for eight hours, 5 pm on Saturday seemed so far away.  

Adding to the nerves, I couldn’t help but picture images of me chili dipping wedges much to Jesper Parnevik’s dismay.

Oh well, what else can you do but keep swinging + moving forward?  This was for a great cause after all: raising money for Folds of Honor, a charity that benefits the families of soldiers who were wounded or killed in action.

Brian and Andy (Golf Professionals at Prestonwood Country Club, our opponents for the charitable 4 Ball Match) were a couple bays down.  We said hello, exchanged banter, laughter, and excitement for the long day ahead, and got ready for the course.

And, we were off
The holes got a lil fuzzy after a few hours
light sabers awaiting night golf hours
darkness is coming
time to put this clay homie away until the sun rises
After 11 hours of dark + cold golf, the sun started rising, and along with it, our spirits.
16 hours in and feeling dandy
birdie try
