An Amazing Show....my cousin Steve did an amazing job of hosting his annual 4th of July party Saturday night! He loves doing this so much. He grilled chicken and friends and family came for a pitch in and firework display! We played volleyball...cornhole...and had a wonderful time visiting with everyone! Just at dark...Steve began his amazing show with help from Cody! We watched the beautiful firework show for over an hour....lots of time and $$$$ went into this!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE....the State Amateur Championship has been a great experience for Chase. He made the cut at the Qualifier June 6th in Bloomington, IN. We headed to Peru, IN (north of Indy) Monday night...and began the tournament on Tuesday morning. Chase shot a 72...even par the first day....77 the second day and made the cut to play Thursday and Friday....quite an accomplishment for a 15 year old little squirt! Thursday he struggled in almost 100 degree heat....shooting an 83, but we still have tomorrow. No matter the outcome....Chase has had a remarkable tournament...playing against college players and men.....what a great experience for him! The next youngest player to make the cut in the tournament was 19...so Chase hold your head high and be proud!

2009 State Am Practice Round

Chase and Sam....getting in a little practice before the big day! They both made the cut for the State Am Tournament in Peru, IN. First Round Tues....Chase shot 72...even par! Second Round Wed....we will see! Cuts made after Wed. round...if he makes it he plays Thursday and Friday! Good Luck Chase! (Notice he has no shoes on in this picture! Check out the white feet! haha)

Stenger Tournament....always a fun day! The Stenger tournamet was set up after Stephen Stenger was killed in an automobile accident in 2003. His parents wanted to honor him by holding the tournament each year to raise money for BNL golf teams. A scholarship is given with the money, new shirts, money for hotels during long tournaments....and so on. Alot of the BNL golfers from years past come back to play in this scramble each summer. They always have fun getting together with old friends and teammates. This year Chase hit T-shots off of the number 18 par 3 for 5 dollars. All money going for the golf team. It was a fun day...VERY HOT! 95....and 97% humidity!
