Hundred Hole Hike update- June 11

Fundraising is going rather well, got $60 from each of my two sisters-in-law, Lexie and Whitney Williams, along with a pledge of $50 from Joel Zuckerman. I have a few other pledges that seem to be tentative and I will have to see how those workout. Hopfeully I can get above $1,000 soon and keep going from there.

Still working on getting ready for the Hike itself as well. I have been playing out at Magnolia Grove, mostly on the short course. I am finding myself able to turn 18 on the short course in under 1 hour every time. I have played the Falls course once and played it, while walking, in under 2 hours. I suspect I can do the same on the Crossings course when the time comes. This should be a very interesting experience.

Hundred Hole Hike Fundraising Efforts

Well, my fundraising efforts are moving fairly well, perhaps not as rapidly as I would like, but probably as well as I should expect. Thus far I have several people who have agreed to contribute to the Ronald McDonald House:
Chris Hartzog -- $20
Tripp Rizzo -- $20
Chris Stoll -- $20
T. J. Dolan -- $25
Singing River Federal Credit Union -- $100
Personal Donation -- $.50 per hole played, $2 per birdie, $20 for score better than birdie

Hopefully the donations continue to come in and I can raise $5,000 or more for the Ronald McDonald House of Mobile, AL.

Hundred Hole Hike

So after some thought, I have decided to join Jim Colton and others in doing a golf marathon this summer. The intent is for me to seek donations based on my intention to WALK at least One Hundred Hole of golf in one day. These donations can be either a set amount or can be based on the number of holes that I play. All money donated to this will be given directly to the Ronald McDonald House Charity of Mobile, AL.

So, the plan is for this event to take place on July 9, 2012 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Magnolia Grove in Mobile, AL. I plan to start at 7:00 am (as early as they will let me, I'd start at 6:00 am if I could) and play until either darkness keeps me from hitting another shot or I simply can't continue.

My goals are to play a minimum of 108 holes (100 is an odd number, 108 gets right to the end of 6 rounds) and raise at least $5,000 for the House. Hopefully I exceed both of those goals.
