Tiger vesus Rocco US Open

Video of Rocco Mediate's Interview after losing to Tiger.

I saw the interview on Don Harrolds video blog. It was one of the better clips of the interview with Rocco.

It's says a lot about not quitting- giving your all- and being in the moment.

Tiger had to be scared- maybe for the first time on a golf course. He was supposed to destroy Rocco on the day of the playoff. Rocco was supposed to succumb to the pressure and fold like a cheap card table.

Tiger is the champ and is amazing. How can we ever forget Rocco's run over those 5 days though?

Chiropractic Care- Try it!

I tried Chiropractic a few years back with a good friend of mine from church and he really fixed up my lower back. After 6-7 visits I was really feeling great and I became a believer.

I went a few years without care or adjustments- it's funny how we quit doing things that work. I started to have neck problems recently and it was affecting my golf game and my ability to back out of the driveway.

After several sessions and a treatment plan including traction, adjustments, physical therapy, exercise and massage I am noticing a huge difference.

If you're having problems and pain, try the natural route- try Chiropractic.

In Mount Washington or Bardstown Road area I would recommend my friend Doc Steve Viola. If you're in the Middletown area I would recommend Dr. Patrick Lowe at Lowe Chiropractic and Wellness. The title bar is a link to his website.

The Middletown Lions Club Golf Scramble

Another year and another great golf scramble. Everything went off without a hitch this year.

We had around 92 players, 32 hole sponsors, about 20 food & prize sponsors, and a lot of fun.

We raised somewhere around $4000 for the Middletown Lions Club- which in turn means we raised around $4000 for the various charities, causes and nonprofits around the Middletown area.

100% of our support goes right out the door to help organizations in Eastern Jefferson County, Louisville, Kentucky, the State of Kentucky and around the world through the Lions Club International.

Authentic Christians are fun to bump into

Sometimes when I bump into a real authentic Christian- it reminds me of where I once was on my Christian walk and where I want to return. When you see someone who has Christ at the center of their life it sure does convict the spirit within me. When I'm walking around complaining and full of fear, I encounter someone who is putting the fruits of the spirit ( Gal 5:22) into action and who is full of faith.

I know that God puts people in our lives and across our paths. I really like it when he puts an authentic bible believing Christian in my path. Some of the most memorable moments in my life were when a Christian brother or sister offered a spontaneous prayer on my behalf. I aspire to be that man of God that I once was.

Under par twice- finally

Over the weekend of June 14 and 15, I finally got it under par this year. I shot 71 at Midland Trail from the back tees on Saturday, and I turned around and did it again on Sunday. My best round of the year was a 73 in a our Member Guest tournament. I had not shot par or below since last fall. It always my goal when I got out and tee it up , but it had eluded me all year. I have been under par several times in the last 3 or 4 years. My next goal is to get into the 60's. This one is tough because it requires so much focus. I'll keep you posted. Golf is quite humbling, so it may be a while and my next score could easily be 78 or 79.

150 days until election

I came up with the idea for this post a while back, when we had 150 days until the election. At this point; I don't watch much TV and I haven't listened to the radio. You would have to tell me what the political scene looks like. I don't have a lot of interest in the current candidates, but I'm sure I'll be engaged again come closer to the fall election.

Kenny Perry wins Memorial opts out of US Open

Well, even though this post is way past due. I figured I would give it some attention. Much was made about Kenny Perry winning the Memorial and opting out of the US Open. He made a committment and schedule earlier this year- he stuck to it. Now we second guess him? To me it seems like his plan is working quite nicely. He has jumped into the top 5 or 6 on the Ryder Cup list, depending on whether you count Tiger. Instead of second guessing him, I think I'll encourage him to stick with his plan.

Last week he had another great showing at the Travelers. Go Kenny!

Keep the sights set on Valhalla.
