He and I shared many great rounds there and, while I worked there, a lot of free ones too.

The course is called Chesapeake Hills and is in Lusby, MD. I share more as the time approaches. I don't feel like I have the time to put the tourney together this year because I want to try to have a silent auction and some other things. Also, I'm totally unfamiliar as to what one should charge participants for this event. I'll probably sit down with some people from Chesapeake Hills in a little while (once my life calms down).

As for our father, I couldn't have said it better than Southpaw. He loved the Skins and he's the reason we're fans of the team. He's also part of the reason we're so negative about the team sometimes...lol. The team lost a great fan on Sunday and we lost a great man.

I am familiar with the course, I play there with my stepfather on the weekends. I know how it feels to lose your father at a young age. I lost mine one week after my first daughter was born. He died from a heart attack at age 39 and he never laid eyes on his grand daughter. I am truly sympathetic for you loss. I would be happy to support your cause and attend the annual golf tourny in Lusby.
