Golf Stats

I am a bit tired, a bit sore, but overall, feeling good. Thanks to everyone that helped out the Alpine Children's Charity through the golf marathon yesterday. I have not received the total money raised, but I can pass along that I beat my personal goal and raised $3257.

I want to send a special thanks to my caddies Bob and Ben who were there to cart me around, rake bunkers and find all of my errant tee shots.

On to the stats:

I shot a 484.

I had 3 birdies, 33 pars, 39 bogies and way too many "others" - 25.

I hit 18/72 fairways.

17/100 greens.

I had four 3-putts.

167 total putts.

11 hours and 20 minutes to complete five 18's, one 9 and one extra hole.

Overall I played ok - I wish I had a few more practice rounds. I couldn't keep my drives straight and had to punch out of the trees way too often - hence the low GIR number. My putting was good, despite the high number of putts. The low number of 3-putts is great.

Ali took some pictures, we will try to get a few up this week.

I am already looking forward to next year and raising over $3500. If anyone wants information on playing with me and raising your own money, let me know.

The Ethan update goes like this - he is up to 4lb 13oz. One full pound on his one-month birthday (yesterday.) No brady's in two days. They are trying to figure out what is causing the brady's - it could be something as simple as acid reflux, or it could be more serious. Hopefully they will disprove and/or prove some more theories this week. He is still eating like a horse. He is usually wide awake for almost a full day and then sleeps for two. Maybe he will be a doctor. Ali and I hope we will bring him home soon, but understand that he is better off in the hospital for the time being. Another good development is that one of Ethan's NICU doctors is leaving the hospital and going into private a pediatrician practice - the same one we were planning on using. So now, she will be his pediatrician whenever they decide to release him. It's nice knowing that his doctor will know his entire background instead of just reading it off the medical history (although I am sure the other doctors would do a fine job.)

The really big news from the weekend is that I received and hung our new plasma tv over the fireplace. It's looking good, only needs a color calibration and remote control consolidation. Only a few more things to get done at home before E-man gets there. If you know anyone that needs a 250lb Sony 36" high def tube tv, let me know, I have one cheap - if you move it.
