I just heard that a family that we have know for about 9 years their dad passed away last Sunday. They leave behind two kids and a loving wife. The daughter is the same age as my son, about 14 or 15 years a freshman in High School, she was in the same grade and they have an older son, a Sophmore or Junior in High School.

The shocking thing is that the father committed suicide because of financial problems from bad investments. This man was a loving father, church member and basketball coach for her daughter's team all the way through school and the last person you would expect.

I can't imagine what the family is going through right now, today is Thursday morning and this happened Sunday at their home.

Let's all pray and hope their family, friends and community support will help this family in such a tragic time.

Suicide is a serious problem indeed. About two years ago, someone committed suicide in the school building itself. Not to mention that there quite a few people who seem to have "suicidal tendencies."

I attended the service yesterday and there was standing room only. The daughter and son are both freshman in High School and College and our prayers and thoughts are out to them.

      Need Your Opinion

      By AlottaShots · Posted

      Long time creeper, but had to join today to ask a question. Today was playing in our clubs Sunday money group. We played all 18 holes and was settling up after the last hole. The groups about 9 guys. Most I play with every week. A few I play with once a month or every other month.  I shot well and was owe a small 3 digit amount from a few players. That's when the guy I don't play with often walks up and says he isn't paying because I had too many clubs in my bag. We walked to my bag and I counted my clubs and I didn't have too many. He then states look at the back your bag there is another club. Low and behold my 7 years daughters putter is in the umbrella hole as its been for the last year when she stated coming with me and wants to putt on the greens. All the other guys looked at him but he refuses to pay me out but pays everyone else. Whats your thoughts. All the other guys paid me out.

      Brian Campbell winning twice this year with a low/mid 160s ball speed is amazing in this time and day. Contrast that with last week's winner Potgieger who moves it comfortably at 190+. Crazy.

      Day 66 (6 Jul 25) - took a break yesterday as I’m dealing with a very sore small toe on my right foot (and we were at the beach place with no golf gear). Today resumed, post TS Chantal’s passing by, with some easy 7i’s into the net followed by some longer shots with hard foam balls.  Ended with some 9i swings - all around focused on weight forward.
