Happy birthday!

Thanks. From

a post on my blog : I turn 28 today (technically at 9:34pm or something, I think), and true to adult form it really doesn't mean a whole lot to me. It's also my father-in-law's birthday (Carey took the "marry someone like your dad" thing a bit too far), so happy birthday to him. That aside, I wish to celebrate life today. As my friends know, another friend of mine has recently received a much-needed new heart and is doing well. For several years, José was basically a few hours from death, but thanks to the forethought of some unknown person, José's wife and two children will likely get to see my favorite Puerto Rican grow old and grey. I've been an organ donor for years - since I got my first driver's license, I suppose - and though I naturally hope that my organs won't be donated any time soon, I am comforted in knowing that the joy I've felt with José's recent transplant may some day be given to someone else should I kick the can. Today, on the anniversary of the day I began my life, I'm encouraging you to look into organ donation. If you're not an organ donor already, sign up. If you are, encourage someone else to. Organ donation may not be tax-deductible, but like taxes, death is one of life's certainties. Plan for the future… someone else's after you are gone.

Happy B-day! I just sent you an e-mail where I estimated your age at 25. You're aging gracefully....

Your birthday is a great time to remind everyone of the importance of being on the organ donation registry. And I would add that being on the bone marrow registry is also something that could save lives. Do it for Erik!

You made it! Another birthday in the history books!

Congrats Erik...I hope you have a special day. I know you couldn't play golf today because it was too cold, but thinking warm might help Hope you get lots of cool gifts.

If you contribute your organs to someone who doesn't play golf, will that person then become a "natural" at it?

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon

Happy belated birthday eric. Hope you had a great day. Now if this weather would straighten out a bit we'll be all set.

I've been an organ donor ever since I got my license. I always figured if I were to pass away I certainly won't be needing them so hopefully someone could benefit from my departure. Giving blood is a great way to help out as well.

    • Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
    • Bob Parsons can be a bit much. But… we fit PXG clubs at our academy. Every Tuesday.
    • Day 292 6-23 Worked on wrist arching for a bit today and then some low point control.
    • Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on. 
    • Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
