Self-centered disc golf
July 29, 2006I'll never really taste what it's like to be a big-time college or pro athlete, but this disc golf tournament lasting a entire week has given me an idea in one capacity.
It seems very self-centered.
Every day my focus has been on throwing pieces of plastic into a metal cage. I haven't had much kid-watching responsibility, no work to think about and not much care in the world.
It was a nice break, but don't think I could take this too often. We're built to give and take. Care for ourselves and others.
I did survive the cutdown, qualifying by finishing 41st out of 244 disc golfers in the first six rounds. That gets me one round today. The top four players play a second round today.
I carried my brother's bag for his final round on Friday, but Anthony couldn't make enough putts to make the cutdown. Ken Ratliff also missed the cut.
Jack Banks is tied for the final two spots in the Advanced Masters and will have a five-way, three-hole playoff today before the semifinal round.

I am glad that Andy has had this chance to be a part of something he enjoys doing. Yes,it has been a difficult week without him, while he is out at the tournament. But, I wouldn't have changed anything, except that I would have liked to have been there with him. Life is about give and take, and this was our opportunity to give to a very special daddy and an awesome husband. We are proud of you!
