90 holes completed

90 holes were completed on Wednesday for the Golf Marathon benefitting the Baylor Cancer Center in Irving, Tx.  October is the Four Seasons charity month aptly named Cool October.  Each year the golf department at the Four Seasons Resort and Club/Dallas do their part to help raise money to fight Cancer.  This year myself, Paul Earnest, Rod Cook, Kevin Golding and Alver David, all Class A Golf Professionals played to make as many birdies as we could.  Our goal was 50 as a group.  We exceeded it by making 57. 
Starting out before daylight in the rain and wind we played two rounds on TPC and then three rounds on Cottonwood.  The rain was with us throughthe first two rounds.  Once it subsided the wind picked up to make for some difficult conditions through four rounds.  Towards the end of the round the wind died down and it was very pleasant to play.  We finished in the dark and averaged about  2 hours and 25 minutes a round.
For the record I totaled 9 birdies.  Round 1 - 1 birdie, Round 2 - 1 birdie, Round 3 - zippo, Round 4 - 4 birdies and Round 5 - 3 birdies. 
Needless to say I was very sore and tight yesterday.  All for a wonderful cause.  For me that's about 2-3 months worth of golf in one day.  All for a great cause.
