Valley Times Invitational 2011


What a time to get together and leave all your
daily worry behind, while you hang out with your
best buds; since you were throwing papers off your
Diamondback bike at 6 in the morning.


The same guys that were there with you while you
while you were struggling to hold on to life in the ER
after that fateful day on Vermont Place 20 years ago.


The same guys that were with you watch you graduate
from high school and soon thereafter jet off to Scotland
to play an amazing, memorable two weeks at the Home of Golf.


The same 3 guys that are known for joking
eating, and making memories (whether
thoughtful, or insane) they always stick with
me to guide me through the year.


How could we not have a VTI tournament without
including lots of food?


This tournament brought along some downfalls
and some pain to my game. I've never experienced
blisters before, until this week. Not a good thing
when its on your thumb... so painful.


We met Gene.
An awesome Christian that was paired up with us at
Roddy Ranch. It was refreshing to finally be paired
with a golfer that was humble, yet very talkative.


As you could tell, by the third round even two gloves,
as ridiculous as it looks couldn't help my blistery game.

Ricky Pierce was on his game.
Even escaping from the nasty stuff off
of the side hill while pushed up against a tree.

Ricky even found a buddy with escaping from
his lie. I hate snakes, but Rick picked that Bull Snake
like he was a Pro. Long enough for us to take a quick pic.


This annual tournament brings us boys
enjoyment, refreshment, fellowship
and a much needed time to get back to square one in
all of our lives.


I laugh at some of the shots we took because
in essence, it describes us.

My Best Friends...
It was so good to have that chance to see
them again. Compete, laugh, converse, and
enjoy the time with these fruitshacks.

Until next year when we get to hang out again.
It's been fun boys.
Always memorable.
Always a good time.


FINAL SCORES

Ricky Pierce-361
Rafsanjani-362
Minnesota Fats-405

  1. Awww so sweet. You guys are such a great example to all of us. I am so proud of you all for taking the time away from your busy lives and families to spend time with each other. It teaches us all to prioritize making time for our best friends no matter what is happening with the rest of our life.

    And what is up with Rick and snakes?!
