YL Golf 2010


We couldn't have asked for a better day for the Young Life Golf Tournament!  It was sunny and 85 degrees...what a day to have off work to golf for the sake of teenagers in the Chippewa Valley!  Lots of golfers enjoyed the weather and the Eau Claire Golf and Country Club's immaculate course.  I went out in the morning with the boys, stayed for lunch, then went home for naps, and returned for dinner.  It was a blast and the kids loved it!

What a treat!  Bopbop and even Uncle Scott (all the way from North Carolina!) spent the day golfing!  We got to visit before lunch, eat lunch together, and see them after the tournament, too!

Logan and Uncle Scott.  We haven't seen Scott for a while, but its amazing that he makes the short trip and takes time off work to come support YL and golf.  He came last year and I was like so huge - Bennett was about to arrive at this time last year.

We got to see lots of friends!  Here is Logan on Ned's golf cart - Logan sure did love riding!  

Before we left for naps, I had to get a couple photos of the boys...

And one of John with Logan, too!

After nice long naps, we came back and Logan got a putting lesson from Bopbop.

Bennett had a snack with Lisa on the green.

Logan helped John measure for The Ultimate Putt contest (prize: a scooter!).

Here are some of the golfers heading down to the green for The Ultimate Putt.  Bennett wants to go too!

The boys had the best time crawling around in the grass - just being kids!  What a fun time with friends and supporters of YL!  Thanks to ALL!

YL Golf Outing!

Once again, the skies were sunny (eventhough it was windy and a little chilly) for the Young Life Golf Tournament this year! All those prayers for nice weather must have been heard! John put in countless hours and long nights preparing for this great event and it was the best ever! Thanks to his office staff and some great volunteers, the event was exciting, smooth, and fun for all!


Grandpa Bob made the trip over with Uncle Scott (who came all the way from North Carolina to support John's event!), so Logan got to spend some bonus time with them during the casual dinner on the deck. This year was especially fun for us because in addition to Bob and Scott coming to the tournament, a large number of our friends travelled from the Cities for the day to enjoy a day off work and on the golf course! Its becoming a tradition for many of them and its always something we look forward to!


Logan got to run around on the mini golf course at the club - needless to say, he loved it!


The tournament offered a few new and exciting twists this year. One example was The Ultimate Putt...you'll have to participate next year to see how someone drove home with this scooter!

Thanks to all our committee, friends, volunteers, and participants for making this event such a huge success!
