So many people to thank and so little space.

A huge thank you to the good folks here at WDBO for allowing us to get the word out. Much appreciation to all of our sponsors and to all of you golfers at our Golf 4 Kids event at MetroWest Monday. We had a full field and we were able to raise, drum roll please, over $45,000 for the Destiny Foundation.

Thank You!

The winning foursome, coming in at a gaudy 30 under par, was a team captained by a good friend of mine, Kyle Frakes. Kyle and I went to high school together at Lake Brantley but I can assure you there was no funny business going on there. Kyle's foursome included Brad Culpepper of Florida Gator and Tampa Bay Buc fame. Congrats fellas!

The highlight of the tourney would come late in the day. 22 year old college football player Kyle Barber, from St. Cloud, was playing his final hole of the day, the par three 167 yard #8. Kyle steps up, in a downpour, and strokes it right smack down on the flag. Witnesses tell me that the ball actually hit the flag stick and bounced in the hole!

In all my years of playing in golf tournaments, never have I heard of any one winning a car in a hole in one contest. Kyle Barber is soon to be B-M-O-C at Eastern Kentucky University! He'll be driving back to school in a brand new 2008 Massey Cadillac CTS. I read recently that the chance of an amateur making a hole in one on a par three is one in 13,000. Congrats to our Miracle Man, Kyle Barber!

The lowlight of the day? It pains me to write that I owe Officer Jim a beverage of his choosing. Team O-J defeats the Anez Group 59-62. Needless to say, I will be stacking my foursome next year. I wonder if Tiger is busy?

Nonetheless, it was a great day of fun, fundraising. and fellowship, not to mention a miracle hole-in-one.

Thank you for your support of the Destiny Foundation!

  • Golf 4 Kids
    Scott Anez's "Golf 4 Kids" golf tournament was an absolutely wonderful outing, first class all the way from the breakfast to the lunch and auction. The Destiny Foundation is a marvelous organization that helps kids locally. This was the inaugural "Golf 4 Kids" tournament and it is hard to imagine how it could have been any better, but knowing Scott, and now the Destiny Foundation, I'm betting that next year it will be even better. If you enjoy playing in charity golf scrambles and helping out in the community, then this is the tournament for you. If you can play only one scramble next year, make it this one. Thanks Scott, WDBO, and Destiny Foundation for a great experience. See you next year.
