I cannot thank you guys enough for your kind words, prayers and friendship. GCA has provided me with so many incredible friends and happy times over the years. I will say I expect them to continue as well. I will say the same thing I said on Caringbridge I feel like one on the luckiest men on the world. This sort of outpouring of support and prayer gives one the strength to face any challenge. My situation is not good. There is hope. I have been in this part of a longer Cancer fight for over the last two and a half years now out of a 9 year total. The day may come where I lose the will to fight for life but it is not today. It is a one day at a time life. Each day God gives us many happy moments to celebrate and enjoy. Our society likes us to plan things ahead, So whether it be a round of golf with Bob in late November or that trip to live a week of good NYC cultural fun to celebrate my daughters end of law school finals this week or a great Golfweek trip to Scottsdale and a round at the great Desert Forest in the beginning of January, things change in this fight. I feel blessed I can still play a little golf or at least hit balls from time to time. There is such beauty in this game. Whether one is practicing a flop shot or imagining running a ball up and feeding it down to a pin is great fun. The work of our architects gives us unlimited memorable challenging shots to imagine and execute. Thank you guys for all your prayers and support. Please keep them coming on caring bridge for this fight is far from over. Seasons Greetings to one and all. cheers Tiger

Tiger,

Wonderful spirit and sentiment in your thoughts. We all should have your courage and will to press on and try our best to overcome life's challenges. Sure, we need to plan, but I've always tried to remind myself to pack as much as I can into each day. That doesn't mean we have to run ourselves ragged...just try to savor as many quality moments as possible, even the quieter interludes. May 2013 find you on the upswing and continuing your life in a rich way!

Cheers and prayers,

Kris 8)

I have yet to meet you Tiger, but you are one of a handful of guys on GCA that I have come to know and instantly like just by reading your posts.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, Tiger. I hope we can tee it up together one day.

 8) Geaux Tiger,

Remember Whispering Pines & Blaketree from the 30th Parallel Gang outing back in Dec 2001?  The classic LSU vs TX  hat bet with Andy Hodson?   I remember you tearing out the driveway in a cloud of dust from near the 10th tee at Blaketree..



The spirit to play hard and fight hard can be challenged for sure, but its in you, and I expect to play with you again in the Houston area some day, if you can fit it into your schedule. 

Thinking of you and potential adventures next year!

I just got to see Tiger and Katie playing on the putting green at Oakbourne. He was in good spirits and enjoying the great weather. Nothing could have made me happier this Xmas then to see him in good spirits and enjoying the day.

John, we are still praying for you and hoping one day we could enjoy a bowl gumbo together again.

Merry Christmas,
Paul

Sending you all my best wishes from this side of the pond, John.

The fun we all had together in Painswick remains one of my fondest memories and I'll always remember your determination to get up that huge hill on the 1st!

All the best

Robin I had to laugh. I was the only guy who needed a caddie to get me and the bag up the hill. I took to cross tracking my way up like one skies down hill. lol What a fun hole. You needed 4 inch rough for fairway to keep the ball from rolling back to your feet off the tee. and then the TV Network decides to film us playing the hole. Thanks for bringing back that happy and unusual golf memory. Infact thank all you guys for these memories.

Longest 237 yard par 4 in golf.  It's one of the only holes in golf where one stops for two blows on the way up -- and it's just the first!
