Waste Management Phoenix Open... #wmpo

In typical Judson fashion, he went to the party of all parties, for golf anyway, the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He and Rick were guests of Wright Bacon. The second day was a "Green Out". Well, you know Judson "goes big or goes home". He wore a Green Morph suit. This guy (my husband) just loves loving life. Goodtime Charley had a blast. Of course, he took pictures with a million strangers, not that he ever meets a stranger! 

I'm sure Rick was just shaking his head the whole time!

Zach Johnson...Open Winner

Zach Johnson...Judson's "Pro Player" in the Fed Ex/St. Jude Pro Am back in 2006. WOW! Look at those babies! We had to dig these pictures out today after he won the Open. Of course, we were cheering for him. He was such a "normal" person that day that took tons of time with our kids. Great memory...congrats Zach! 

Here are a few lines taken from an article about Zach and his wife, family and faith. Seems like we had the right idea about him...

(CNN)"When you're trying to accomplish lofty goals and when you're attacking something of great magnitude, you have to have help," says new Open champion Zach Johnson.

In the golfing world, winning the Masters at Augusta or the Open Championship at St. Andrews is as good as it gets.

Johnson is one of just six players to win at both venues, and he is quick to acknowledge the two "rocks" that made it possible: his faith as a Christian, and his wife Kim.

"There's a lot of individuals behind the scenes that get you there, but Kim is the head of that. She's the one that I go to first for anything. She's the self-acclaimed CEO of Zach Johnson Golf," the American told CNN Wednesday, reflecting on the playoff victory at Scotland's "home of golf" that took his career earnings past $37 million.

"She has that title and evidently there's no shelf-life for that. I'm grateful for that." 

"She's my rock -- she's the one that I can trust with anything," Johnson said. "Good or bad, it doesn't matter what the situation is, she's always there. 

"She's very level-minded, always got great perspective, and she sits me in my place and keeps me properly focused and allows me to do what I do."

Johnson's rebuilt faith is also a key factor in his serial success on tour: ...Throughout a difficult five days at St. Andrews, where the players were often battling the elements as much as themselves, the 39-year-old kept his composure by reciting his favorite scriptures.

He said Psalm 27:14 ("Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart") was going through his mind as the tournament came to a climax -- an ending he describes as "such a blur."

Best Round of Golf Yet...Mirimichi

Ally had her BEST round yet at Mirimichi! It was a perfect day for golf...we had fun!

Ally's special requests on the back nine EVERY time she plays golf...thanks to an Aunt Das/Britt tradition! "It gives her energy to make it through the match!"

My Golfing Gal...Al

I know...that title is a little on the cheesy side but I couldn't resist! Ally decided to be on the high school golf team about 3 weeks ago. Since then, she has practiced golf EVERYDAY! I am so proud of her! One thing is for sure, if she has her heart in it...she is committed!

So far, she has played at Galloway, Orgil, Mirimichi, the Farms and the CCC. She has improved with each match, 135 (18 holes), 62(9 holes), 58(9 holes). I think if she didn't have to walk she could do even better. Her asthma is really giving her fits this year. I hope when it cools off it will get better. I am afraid it won't though, because the Fall is when it is usually worse because of the crops being harvested all around us.

A shout out to Aunt Das for taking her to one of her matches! Actually, her best match yet.

Here are a few pictures of her playing/practicing.

Fed Ex St.Jude Pro Am

Judson was invited once again to play in the Fed Ex St. Jude Pro Am golf tourney. Coca-Cola sponsored him again this year.  He always enjoys this tournament. He loves meeting different players, seeing people he doesn't see often and supporting the kids at St. Jude.  The prizes he gets aren't too shabby either! This year he asked Ryan Hughes to be his caddy. Ryan was nice enough to do it being as HOT as it has been this year already!  Eric came along as part of his fan club. As you can see from the pictures, Ryan wore pink and Eric wore argyle...hence you have the "GAY TEAM". Just teasing...their team really was the "GAY TEAM" because Judson's pro was named "Brian Gay". How coincidental was that??? They ended up tying for first and then were carded out to second place! Judson played his BEST round of golf EVER by shooting a 76!!! They ended up 16 under for the day! He had a whole lot of fun. I actually didn't make it this year to watch...I hope he will forgive me.
