108/100 holes of golf

Participating in 2024 First Tee - Greater Detroit 100 Hole Golf Marathon

Oct 5, 2024

My Mission to Support First Tee - Greater Detroit

Back at it again! I am ready for my second go-round at the 100-hole marathon. My first experience was in 2022, the year of the memorable one club match between Joe Colangelo (1-iron) and myself (persimmon 1-wood). For 2024, perhaps I will let the highest bidder choose a format for me to participate in? We shall see!

Please consider donating to support the First Tee of Greater Detroit. As we get older, those of us who golf recognize that it can be one of our main sources of social interaction with friends, as well as a rare opportunity in our busy lives to take a break and be active out in nature. Introducing the game to kids from all walks of life, and teaching them life skills and values at the same time is such an important mission. I'm happy to support the cause!
