I finally kept an honest score last Thursday while golfing with Nik and the Murray Parkway golf course. I got 50 through nine holes. It might not seem like much, but I was proud of myself for not losing a ball, not redoing any shots, and keeping official score! Now I have a place from which to start measuring improvement.

Like Justin, I'm really excited to help create this community for dads who are looking for ways to take care of themselves so they can be an even more present father. I have two boys, ages six and four. I have the misfortune of being divorced, and we have split custody. The six year old lives with me, and the four year old lives with his mother in Oklahoma. Though that will change in the near future, and I will have custody of both, it is extremely difficult only seeing my little guy every few months. I'm hoping this community can grow and become a place where we can help each other face life's challenges. As far as golf goes, I love it for many reasons. I get to spend time with good people in beautiful places, and it's a sport I can play that doesn't require running!
