Guy McIntyre Fellowship of Christian Athletes Golf Classic

Shhhh.. Today I played hooky from work in order to play in the Guy McIntyre Fellowship of Christian Athletes Golf Classic.  Here's our foursome - joined by Guy McIntyre.  Guy was selected to 5 Pro Bowls and won 3 Super Bowls while playing for the SF 49ers!


This is my friend Jim who was kind enough to invite me to play in his foursome.  Thank you so much Jim for the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful day playing golf to support the FCA in ministering to young people through athletics.


Here's Randy enjoying  a moment on the tee. 


On one of the holes we had a chance to compete against Guy.  On that hole we could donate some money to the FCA.  Then Guy would hit his tee shot (on a par 3).  Anyone that made a donation made and hit their drive closer to the hole had a number of raffle tickets added to the main prize raffle.  Guy was good enough to not get too close to the hole for us (he hit a tee shot within 5 feet of the hole with the next group!).  So, I am pleased to tell you that I beat a 49 at something in my life.  Check it off my bucket list.


Oh, and you might as well check off 'wear two Super Bowl' rings while you're at it.  You see, Guy also won 3 of these babies while he played for the Team of the 80s!  And he was nice enough to share ;)
Those things are HUGE! and laddened with diamonds!


For you golfers - we played an interesting - half scramble - half four-ball format.   The idea was that everyone teed off and we all played from the best tee shot.  Then, each player played their own ball the remainder of the hole and you take the lowest score. We ended up shooting 1 under par on a very difficult course (I can't even tell you how many balls we lost!).  We were very pleased given the fact that it was over 90 degree.  What a fun day.
