Hey Gang,
I sure hope everyone had a good time yesterday. It was an awesome day to be out there. Playing with the guys is so much fun but the task of the "coordinators" is a big job. Dave Furlong and I worked as hard as we could to make the teams equitable but when you have people who sign in and don't show up and those who show up and don't sign in (the men - not talking about us!) it gets more than a little crazy. Then to have one show up at the carts that hadn't even checked in at all. Really not cool. But oh well, it is suppose to be about having a fun day and maybe giving back a little to charity. I had one complaint come back to me but just as I have said before - if you want my job - you can have it. Most of what I heard was laughter and I saw a lot of smiles in clubhouse and I will not let one negative comment spoil my high. I think the vast majority of people had a great day. I guess it is all about your perspective on why you're there. Like a good friend of mine said the other day - we lead a charmed life - and if you don't that, I guess you just don't get it.
Congrats to our winners.....

Thanks to all who contributed from their winnings back to Angel's House. I thought that was awesome. And if you didn't hear what I was crying about I'll summarize and elaborate. On Oct 28th, 2001 I saw Alan Jackson sing at the Newnan High School football field. It was a fund raiser for Angel's House (Coweta shelter for abused women and children) which was just getting started. A venue like that - only about 8000 people. I danced at the foot of the stage all night! He sang a song that night for his mama and dedicated to his father who had recently passed away. The name of it was " The Other Side of Life". Little did I know that the next night I would l lose my husband to a heart attack. When I went to McKoon's to plan Mickey's funeral I told the guy - I want the song Alan Jackson sang at the concert. Some of Alan's family works at McKoon's and I knew they had an inside track. They called Alan and he told them he'd never recorded the song but told us who had recorded it (Vern Gosdin for any of you real country music lovers) and I was able to get the song for his funeral. In Mo's obituary I requested donations be made to Angel's House. I forget how much money he raised for them - well over $1000 in donations. Later from some friends I had received cash and Alan Jackson donated one of his Corvette's to be raffled off for Angel's House. I bought $100+ worth of tickets just knowing I would win that 'Vette! Didn't win but I didn't get interviewed by KICKS that night on the square. ;o)
Our ladies group is awesome and I love and care for each one of you! Remember, every shot (in life or in golf) must have a purpose.
Life is good. mm
