Mom was called home on Christmas Eve & got to spend Christmas in heaven. She is healthy now & for sure in a better place. We had a simple grave side today & I shared the attached with a little help from the Holy Spirit. She was an incredible person & the greatest golf mom ever.

Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease but mom seems to still know who I am and always enjoys a milkshake. She was the greatest and all about her boys. She even ran the Knox Area Junior Golf Assoc for a number of years so we could have somewhere to play. Ultimate golf mom, love u!

Palmer and I got out today and enjoyed a round

Head Super Matt Lean and his team have a tough job preparing the practice facility, clubhouse and short course
@PGAVillage
- They do the bulk of their work in the dark with the driving range opening at 7 a.m. that goes thru some 35,000 balls a day. Tremendous job by all!
