And so the golf continues!!!

While we have been in full blown dorm mode around here, we turned our attention to Claire last week for a bunch of golf!  First of all, Claire competed in the 2nd round of the Drive , Chip, and Putt, which was the Tennessee finals!  We traveled to The Grove Golf Course in College Grove, TN Thursday and she competed her heart out.  She did not advance to the next round in Atlanta, but she was playing against the top 12 in Tennessee.  She placed 3rd in Chipping overall and while she was not pleased (notice her face above) we were so pleased.  We would never have thought she'd advance so much in just 2 years of playing golf....her drive improve is insane! We are so proud of you Claire!

As soon as we returned to Memphis we hit Southwind TPC for the Fed Ex St. Jude World Golf Classic.  This was the biggest golf tourney Memphis has seen and all the best were in town.  Claire had an absolute blast getting her hat signed over and over as they came off the 18 hole and loved watching them make amazing shots over and over!  She snagged a pic with friend and fellow golfer Grace, and JORDAN Spieth!  I even squealed a bit!

PHIL!!!

And Brandt Snediker! He is the namesake of the Sneds Tour that all the Memphis junior golfers play on!  He was even happy to see some of his junior golfers cheering him on!

And yes, Lance and Claire snagged a selfie with Penny!  Lance's summer has been made.....

Matt Kucher!  He is so tall in person and so sweet to the junior golfers

The last month or so, we have had Mr. Dick Hackett, a former Memphis Mayor, volunteering with us on Fridays at the soup kitchen.  He is smitten with Claire and her ability to work wherever needed in the soup kitchen, that he gave her a "key" to the city.  I thought that was just precious!
