The month of October is a special month for Four Seasons Worldwide. It's the time of year each property dedicates to raising money for charity. At the Four Seasons/Dallas we do a variety of different things such as a bake sale, chili cook-out, tennis marathon, spinning(cycling)marathon, golf tournament and a golf marathon.
Yesterday we had the golf tournament and the golf marathon. For the golf marathon myself, Paul Earnest(Director of Golf), John Cunningham(Director of Golf Operations), Abe Hernandez( Head Professional) and Alvar David( Outside Services Manager) set out to play 90 holes in the hope of making as many birdies as we could for our charity, the Irving Cancer Center.
The plan was to play two rounds on TPC and three rounds on Cottonwood Valley. Finishing at dark we were able to complete our goal of 90 holes. Overall the group made 30 birdies. I was able to chip in with 7 birdies and an eagle. The amount raised is still being tabulated but the day was a big success.
Aside from the monetary benefits there is a wonderful sense of giving while you're participating in the marathon. Don't get me wrong playing 90 holes in a day is not easy. But knowing that you might be saving a life or improving the quality of someone's life that is battling cancer helps keep you going during the day.
