I enjoyed yet another Umps Care Golf Classic where MLB umpires played golf and raised money.
The misty morning rain didn't dampen spirits at the Raven Golf Club is
Mesa, Arizona. "It's for the kids" was a frequent motto of the day.
Although my team did not win the scramble, I feel I had the best crew
there. I had the honor of playing with MLB umpire
Tim Timmons and three
umpire/customers Dan McGinnis and his two sons Daniel and Dave.
These guys were celebrities in their own right. Tim was the MC of the
post-scramble auction. Dan won the first ever Umps Care Ambassadors
Award. Daniel won the long drive contest (holy crap can that kid hit a
golf ball!). Dave, well, he's studying to be an aerospace engineer. How
often do you play golf with a rocket scientist, let alone one who also
umpires?
Great day. Great event. Great cause. Thanks to Umps Care for allowing us to be a part of this worthwhile event.
