This week Ryan is playing in the NGA Hooter's Tour Event in Miami, OK! The event is a Wednesday-Saturday event, so first round play starts tomorrow and Ryan tees off at 7:56am local time.

Hole In One!!

While playing at Champions Gate today with my brother, I had a hole-in-one!! It was #2 on the International Course. It was a back pin, measuring 219 yards. I hit a really good 4-iron right at the flag. We couldn't see the bottom of the flag because it was behind a bunker, but after I hit it, Brent said "that's in the hole." Low and behold, we walk up to the green and we don't see my ball. So I sneak up to the hole and take a peak....and what do ya know....

Bam.

Home Sweet Home

After a solid showing last week, we have a week at home. I believe we have been living out of a suitcase 126 of last 134 days! Some time to recover is much needed!

Next up is a Hooters Tour event in Miami, Oklahoma next week.

Labor Day!!

Like many of you who were lovin having the day off on Monday, we too were "Chillaxin" but luckily we got to spend it with friends in Charleston, SC!!

Thanks to Justin and Molly Hare for allowing us to visit for a few days; we had such fun!! Any of you who have ever lived with me, or know me well, will know that were I to be put in charge of my own Labor Day plans, I would either A) Plan something super low-key or B) Refuse to make plans and hang by a pool or in a coffee shop reading and talking with a few friends in total bliss as the day passed me by... Well, let me tell you, that is NOT what we did on Labor Day and I could not be more THRILLED about it!! ;)

Justin and Molly own his and her bikes, as well as a two-person, tandum, bicycle, so we all biked to breakfast at a fun local diner, played Scrabble, spent the whole afternoon on Paddle Boards (we are now OBSESSED!!!), had drinks and appetizers dockside watching the dolphins follow the shrimp boats in, and then had dinner at the awesome PostHouse restaurant, right by where they filmed part of The Notebook! So fun! :)

Ya'll plan amazing, fun days! Thanks for your hospitality!!

W is for Win!!!

This past week Ryan and I were in Augusta, GA for the NGA Hooters Tour event, the Kandy Waters Memorial Classic, at Mount Vintage Plantation & Golf Club. It was a great week for us as we stayed in the Anderson home, right on the course and enjoyed some good home cooked meals!

Ryan shot 70, 66, 70, 66 to sneak up from behind on Sunday to WIN!! We were so so excited!! We are continually amazed by God's goodness to us and His provision for us! A big THANK YOU to both of our families for helping us, loving us, supporting us, continuing to believe in us, and being there emotionally, physically, and mentally through the ups and downs of the craziness that is professional golf! THANK YOU to our friends who show us so much grace and love when we forget to email, call at weird times and have to miss things because we rarely stop! We love and miss you all!!

There are several great articles that detail Ryan's win and you can see them at these links:
