Road Trip to Newport, RI
Chris and I were able to take a little road trip today to Newport. It
was about an hour and half away from where we are staying, so we went
on a little adventure! My sweet friend, Fran Varner Snow, told us to
tour one of the mansions called The Breakers, which was actually the
summer home of the Vanderbilts, so that was really neat and I now want
to read more about them. It was increible and Chris took some great
pictures! We are headed back to Nashville tomorrow and Chris will then
decide what is next. We have enjoyed a day away from golf and just had
a great time with each other! Thanks for all of the encouragement!!!
Much love from CT!!!!

Tomorrow is another day!!!
Well obviously today was not the day Chris wanted, but the great news
in it all is that he is still living!! Woohoo!! :) Golf can be a mean
game, can't it? We are grateful for the opportunity Chris had today,
and this isn't the first bad day and it won't be the last. We had the
opportunity to get a VIP tour of ESPN today and it was absolutely
incredible! That was one of the perks the tournament offered to
players! It was really neat and I will try to post some pics soon! We
just truly remain grateful for our time together and just all that God
has given us. Thanks for all of the encouragement you have given to
us. It is noticed and appreciated and we just pray that God will
continue to show us the way! May God bless each of you and look
forward to a new day tomorrow!! Much love from CT!!!

Practice Round Day
It has been a long, but great day! My flight got into Hartford at 2:45 this afternoon, and I got my bags and caught a shuttle to the course. I got to the course around 3:45ish, as it is about 25 minutes from the airport. I had a really nice guy that actually works for Travelers Group give me a ride, so it was cool getting to talk to him and get some local knowledge about CT. By the time I met Chris, they were on the 15th green, so I actually walked the last few holes with Chris and our friend Eric, who is caddying for Chris this week. It is amazing that they are playing golf in this tiny town. There is not much to Cromwell, CT, but it is a neat little place for sure! The people here are extremely nice! We went to dinner at Chili's and now the guys are studying the yardage books and preparing for the week. Chris is in great spirits. He seems really relaxed and ready to play. Tomorrow he will be practicing some, and I get to go to the spa!! We are hoping to catch a movie tomorrow afternoon so he can get off his feet and rest his legs. Other than that, I think we are just feel really blessed and excited to be here and be together. Chris feels good about his game and feels like he is hitting the ball much better. Thanks again to all the phone calls, texts, and emails. We truly feel God's presence when people send their love and support our way. It is a great feeling to know so many people love us and care! We are planning on going to Tour Bible study tomorrow night, so hopefully I can post afterwards tomorrow night. Chris will tee off at 8:45 Thursday and 1:45 Friday. He is playing with 2 people he knows well, so I think he is really excited about that! Thanks again for all of the love and support. We feel it all around us and it feels GREAT! Stay tuned...Much love from CT!!
This week...
I am currently at the airport waiting for my flight to CT!! Chris shot
67 yesterday, which was the low score for the Monday qualifier! He
tied with 2 other guys and they took 4 guys. We are really looking
forward to a great week and just know that God is walking this journey
with us. I will land in CT 2:45 eastern and will get a shuttle to the
course from the airport! Thanks again for all of the calls, texts and
emails! It will be a great week and another great experience!! I am
looking forward to seeing all of the sweet wives that I met in
Memphis!! That is it for now.... Stay tuned!! Much love from BNA!!! :)

St. Jude Classic
WOW! Where do I begin? I am not sure what I am about to type, but here goes. Last week was overwhelming, but it was an amazing opportunity for Chris to grow professionally and with the experiences he gained from the week, I believe he is on the right track! Even though Chris did not finish as high as he would have liked, we are grateful that he made the cut and got to play with some great golfers. Many of you probably want to know what happened on Sunday. It was an eventful round, but I am proud of the way Chris fought back. Chris had played golf 10 out of the previous 11 days on Sunday, and honestly, he was just EXHAUSTED! The heat and humidity caught up with Chris on the end of the third day, and the last day. I was not even playing and I was pretty tired myself. As most of you probably saw, Chris birdied 4 out of the last 7 holes, and he chipped in on 18 for an exciting finish! I was asked several times how I was feeling throughout the round on Sunday, and yes my heart was breaking for Chris, but I knew Chris was going to take something positive from this experience and learn from it.
Most importantly, we just want to thank everyone who came out and followed Chris throughout the week and also all of you who have called, emailed, and texted us! We are overwhelmed by the number of people who have encouraged Chris throughout his journey as a golfer. We are blessed by God in so many ways. God provides in numerous ways for Chris to continue doing what he loves, and we are so gracious for this opportunity. Once again, I am so proud of the way Chris handles himself on and off the golf course. I know I may be bragging a little bit, but he is such a classy person and the whole week he had a smile on his face, which I had several people comment about how happy he was. I know I am a little partial....ok maybe I am very partial, but he truly represents this sport to the fullest, and it is so obvious how much he loves the game.
Chris will be home for the rest of this week, and then he will head out this weekend for the E-golf tour event next week. We are so excited to see what God has in store for the rest of this year! Check back soon for more updates! As for now, May God bless each of us in all that we say, think, and do! Much love from Nashville!!

Today
Chris is still snoozing,as I write, resting up for today's round! He
played solid yesterday, although he did some fine tuning to his swing
yesterday after the round! We are so blessed to have so many people
here watching and so many more people coming!! He tees off at 1:44
today and we just continue to praise God for the opportunity for Chris
to tee it up and have a blast! One guy came up to him yesterday and
said that he loved that Chris had a smile on his face every time he
saw him! We are all having a blast! Hopefully today will be another
great day! Thanks again for following!

US Open Sectionals and St. Jude!!
First of all, I need to apologize for not writing on here in so long.
It has been a crazy couple of weeks with a lot going on. With summer
here, I thought I would have more time to write, but quite honestly it
has been the opposite! As some of you may know, Chris shot 63
yesterday in the PGA St. Jude qualifier finishing as the medalist and
will begin play this Thursday. Tee times will be up tomorrow, so I
will try to post. It should be on the PGA website as well! We are
super excited as Chris played this tournament 2 years ago, hopefully
this time we will be there through Sunday! Today Chris tried to
qualify for the US Open in the 2nd round of qualifying. Chris played
well, but he was just mentally exhausted after qualifying yesterday. I
have learned over the years how mental golf is, and playing 36 holes
truly is draining. Heck, I only walked and I was exhausted! I can't
imagine how draining actually playing would be! With all of that
being said, Chris and I are both so excited about this week and all
that God has in store for us! Pray that Chris will get some good rest
for the week ahead and that he will just do his humanly best! He will
play a practice round late tomorrow and meet with his agent and
teacher. He will practice very little Wednesday and get some much
needed rest! Thanks to you all for the phone calls, emails, and texts!
They are greatly appreciated!! Stay tuned for a great week ahead! God
is good! Much love from Memphis!!!
