Tied for 13th!!!

Well, Chris finally got the score he was looking for! He shot 5 under today and jumped up to T13!!! I am so proud of him!! What a great finish to these 2 weeks! He is now on his way home so I am super excited!!! Thanks for all of the prayers and support!! We are blessed! Much love from Nashville!!

Just talked to Chris......

Well, it seems that they have had another delay this morning, so Chris is only playing 18 today and the tournament will be a 54 hole tournament, versus the 72 holes that they would have played. Usually Chris would probably want to go ahead and play the 72 holes to try and move up the leader board, but honestly, he is just ready to get it over and come home! I am ready for him to come home too! His new tee time is 10:00 Eastern standard, so he will probably be done around 2ish Central standard. He will then hit the road to come home! I will try to post this afternoon what he has finished! He is already 1 under after 2 holes he got in last night, so hopefully he can keep that birdie train going! Check back and see how he finishes! Thanks to everyone! Stay tuned!

Made the Cut!

First of all, I just want to apologize for not posting on here! I have had a crazy busy week! I am sure most of you are wondering what the heck is going on with the Tarheel tour and I am sorry! Anyway, yesterday they had a huge delay, so the guys in the afternoon wave did not finish their 2nd round. Chris had to wait around to find out if he made the cut, which he did on the number (WHEW!). He teed off just a little while ago, and so he will only get in a few holes for his 3rd round. Tomorrow, he will be finishing the 3rd round and playing the 4th round. Basically, tomorrow is going to be a LOOOONG day! Chris is playing really well. He told me he feels good about his game, although the score is not really showing for it. Personally, I still think he is not quite 100% from the flu. As most of you know, it can take a little while to bounce back from the flu and not being at home and getting the proper rest can make the recovery process a little longer. Chris is staying positive though! Thanks to all for checking in on us! We greatly appreciate all of the encouragement and support thorough all of this! God is so good and we remain faithful and blessed throughout our journey!! Please pray that Chris will just go out there and do his best for the final 2 rounds! He is hanging in there! Have a great weekend and check back tomorrow for a report! Much love from Nashville!!!

Today....

Chris will be teeing off at 12:20 Eastern time today! Please keep him in your prayers today and just pray that he will remain calm and get his game back after having the flu. He says he is not quite 100%, but he is very close! Thanks for checking in and hopefully I can report tonight!

Playing at Sawgrass- Home of the PGA!

Today Chris and a few others were able to play at the TPC Sawgrass course, which is the home of the PGA! Chris had a great time and he actually birdied the last few holes (including the one that is the "island" hole)! I told Chris to take some pictures and he did, so once I can get a hold of those, I will post. Chris and a few friends are back in Savannah, GA, getting ready for this week's Egolf event. Chris sounds much better and even though he is not 100%, I think by Wednesday he will be! Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support. Last week was rough, but hopefully this week will prove to be better! I will try to post again before Wednesday! Much love from Nashville!

Sorry!

Sorry for not posting this week! I have pretty much had a crummy week and I know Chris has as well. Chris played the tournament with the flu this week. Not sure how he did it, but he managed to play 2 rounds with a fever and everything. There really is not much to report, as he missed the cut. Hopefully, next week will be a better one! For some reason, God had a different plan for this week than what we had anticipated. Thanks for all of your prayers and support this week. We are looking forward to moving on and praying for a better week next week. It is all in God's hands and we remain grateful for that! Thanks to everyone for checking the blog and keeping up with us! Much love from Nashville!

AND SO IT BEGINS!

I was thinking about what to write tonight, and all I could come up with is AND SO IT BEGINS. The 2010 Tournament season has arrived for Chris. Some golfers have already started their journey for the year, but for Chris, it has been 2 months of preparation for the upcoming year. I have talked to him several times today and he still has "the crud." I bet with some medicine and a good night's sleep, he will be ready to go!

You may be wondering why I put this picture up from last May! I just thought it serves as a great reminder that through God anything is possible! Golf can be such an up and down sport. One week can be the best week, and then the very next can be the worst week. I have great respect for those who play the sport because I could not put up with that! With all of that being said, I hope that it will be a great year for Chris. I know how hard he has worked and how much he loves the sport of golf. No matter the outcome of this year, we give God all of the glory for living a life of chasing dreams and doing things that our hearts truly desire.

Throughout this journey, I think that the most important thing that Chris and I both remember is that God is our top priority in our lives. If we seek to live out His will for our lives, then everything will fall into place how it is meant to be. Yes, this year would be a lot easier if Chris did not have to Monday Qualify for Nationwide events. Yes, this year would be easier if we knew exactly which tournaments Chris would be able to play. There are so many unknowns for us this year, but that is God's plan for us. Instead of dwelling on all of the hardships, God is giving us an opportunity to make the very best of what He has presented to us. I tell Chris all the time, it is not a matter of if he will make it, but when. Through God, Chris has the talent to play this game. God's timing is perfect in all that we do!

Thank you for your support for us. We are just walking the journey with God's grace and mercy and we pray that whatever may come our way, that we do it with all of His glory! If we give it to God, we will be successful! God is in control, we are just following the path He leads for us! Chris tees off at 8:20 AM eastern time. Please pray that he will feel better and that he will do his very best and let God do the rest! I will try to post tomorrow night about the day, but you can go to the Egolf Tour link on our blog to find the leader board! Much love from Nashville!
