Charity Golf Event in Newberg

I was invited to play in a charity golf event in Newberg, Oregon at the Chehalem Glenn Golf Course.  The weather was perfect!  I didn’t play as well as I would have liked, but I still had a lot of fun.  We shot 4 under which isn’t that great for a 4 man scramble.  We hit great off the tee, but our short irons were not as accurate as we needed them to be. 

To our surprise, the group in front of us included Amy Roloff.  I was pretty excited because Meredith (and Rachelle and Stephanie and a lot of other people I know) is a huge fan of the Roloff’s.  She watches their show “Little People, Big World” religiously.  My goal was to talk to Amy today and to get a picture with her.  That opportunity came on the back nine when we were getting some refreshments at the drink cart.  I told Amy that we were big fans and enjoyed the show.  She was so nice and took some time to talk with us.  She thanked us for watching the show.  I then told her that my wife is a HUGE fan!  She told us that this is their last season of doing the show.  Too bad for Meredith!  Anyway, Bob and I had huge smiles on our faces because we knew our wives were going to be disappointed that we got to meet her and they didn’t.   (Oh, right after meeting her I sank a 30 foot put.)

At the end of the event they fed us lunch and then handed out some prizes.  Most of the prizes were golf items.  But mine was a little different.  It was in this large box.  I thought I hit the jackpot.  However, it was a box full of toilet paper.  96 rolls!  Exciting stuff!

The tournament was called the Mid-Valley Open – A Charity Scramble.  The charity was for the Ron Edwards Memorial Scholarship Fund.  This scholarship fund provides funds for support services to individuals with developmental or other severe disabilities.  They are either ineligible for, or on a waitlist, for state funded services.
