I just got back from a great and fun tournament for Homes For Our Troops. My buddy Bryant Jacobs did an awesome job putting it together and raising money for wounded veterans.
I met and played in the tournament with two vets, one is Travis (right below) and the other was a vet from Vietnam.

Travis was blown up in Afghanistan and lost a leg and function of many parts of his body. He’s had 84, YES 84 surgeries and was in the hospital for 2.5 years. He could be down with all of that, but he wasn’t. He was very positive and energetic and quite fun to be around.
Tip o’ the hat to Travis, Bryant and Homes For Our Troops. The tournament was great and judging from the big crowd I’d say it was a great success.
To see all of the photos visit this gallery.
Today I hope to initiate the switch to a new and more powerful dedicated server here. During this period, the web site may or may not work for a while.
Thanks for your patience. See you on the other side…

That last post about Camilo joining TaylorMade caused me to stumble upon a funny golf ball I found in the bushes a couple of days ago. Yes I don’t need to hear it. With the state of my game this year, I spend a lot of time in the bushes.
Many say golf is a fun first date. If that is the case perhaps this would be the best ball to use on that first date.
Camillo Villegas, a long time Cobra/Titleist guy, will be joining the Taylormade-adidas tour staff starting in 2011.
Villegas, 28, will play TaylorMade® clubs, a TaylorMade ball, wear TaylorMade headwear, wear a TaylorMade glove, use a TaylorMade staff bag and wear adidas Golf footwear. More details on the relationship between Villegas and TMaG will be revealed on September 9.
Currently Camilo is ranked 25 in the world, but ranked #1 with the lady golf fans…
