Weekend of Sports (contd)

hey.. a couple of more details on our unfolding weekend:

1) the golfers as mentioned below were:
Jesper Parnevick - used to employ the twin sister of Tiger's wife as nanny help for his kids.

2) Jerry Kelly - Wisconsin guy who's as loose a pro golfer as there is.. really down-to-earth guy. very much like the pros we have met in the area who are in the minor tours.. i introduced our boys to two conditional Nationwide players.. when they haven't 'made it,' they seem to be much more open and friendly.. Jerry's still like that...

3) afterwards, the Dad, Steve, DJ and Brad played a round (or a portion of the front 9 before calling it quits due to slow play)... much could be said about the round, but we played 2-man best ball. the Dad and Steve won running away... it wasn't necessarily due to the quality of golf, but the quality of trash talk which distracted the opponents' golf swing..

4) if that wasn't enough golf, Mickey and Chip had their regular friday afternoon golf clinic the entire afternoon; topped off by a marathon putting contest with the Dad (who is losing more and more to the boys).

Saturday morning, Mom and Dad attended the annual AIA SuperBowl breakfast where the NFL sanctioned event honored the 2008 Bart Starr award winner LaDainian Tomlinson of the Chargers - a really good guy.. (i'm a fan now).. he wept during his message several times talking about the influence of his mother, his affection for his dad (who passed away last year) and his love of the Lord.. Brent Jones, Tony Dungy, Anthony Munoz, Mike Singletary and about 30 NFL'ers were there (in addition to Bart Starr himself)..

we have several pics of yesterday and will post later today..
