No better excuse. No greater cause.
The date is set: July 31st. That's when I will be teeing it up at our annual Lowcountry Golf Marathon supporting the Folds of Honor.
What's a golf marathon you may ask? A golf marathon consists of playing as many holes as possible in one day. We will tee off at daybreak (6:00am) and play until we no longer can see our golf balls (8:20pm). That's right over 14 hours of continuous golf! Think 252 holes (14 rounds of 18) with an average round taking 1h01mn.
So why this craziness on what will likely be the hottest day of the year in Charleston? This is an event to raise money for Folds of Honor. Folds of Honor's mission is to provide educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen and disabled service members. I can't think of a better cause to associate myself to. Our freedom doesn't come free and these scholarships are such an impactful way to honor the sacrifices made for it.
I’d like to humbly ask you to rally behind this cause with me. You can do so in 2 ways:
1. Option 1 (preferred) is to place bets on my performance that day. You could pledge to donate 25 cents per hole we play, or $1 per birdie, something special for a hole in one (amounts of your choosing).
Example: you have in mind to donate $50. You pledge $1 per birdie up to $50 max. If I make 49 birdies I will email you after the event and you donate that amount. If I make 70 birdies I will email you after the event and you donate $50.
Pledges make a big difference in driving the best performance during the marathon. Below are some stats to give you a frame of reference and help you decide.
Holes Played: 234
66 birdies
3 eagles
22 instances of saying my favorite swear: Mother Bitch
Longest putt made: 69 feet (A fun bet is $1 per foot for the longest putt made.)
HOW TO PLEDGE / PLACE YOUR BETS: Simply email me (jmbusuttil@gmail.com) with the details. I will contact you after we tally the results of the marathon with how things shake out.

The folded flag is a constant reminder of those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. It inspires us to help equip and educate their loved ones in need of our support.
Thanks in advance for rallying with me to raise money for these scholarships!

epic day! 14 rounds and 14 holes were played. started in very wet conditions which makes this a bit more of a bear... think soft grass to walk on, wearing waterproof shoes that are heavy and hot. was blessed with not having a thunderstorm which is what made 266 holes possible. average round was under 1h. no breaks taken 😂.
tee to green I played my best golf of the past few years, with many shots of the quality I produced when I played on tour. so that was fun! the putter however was icy cold and a blunt reminder that this is a skill I need to practice 🙃.
thanks for the big rally to support the folds of honor via my lowcountry golf marathon 🇺🇲 !
