The Hundred Hole Hike is a wonderful opportunity for me to support some very important causes personally and professionally. I am raising money to help support research to help those fighting leukemia. My mother, Helen Anderson, was a fantastic person who had 5 children, but lost her fight with leukemia at the age of 43. In her honor I am pledging to walk as many holes as possible, and will be thinking of her throughout the day. She was a Special Education Teacher, a great friend to many, and a wonderful mother.
The Hundred Hole Hike also showcases the important health benefits to walking the golf course. Many of our members at Holly Hills CC make the effort to walk 18 holes instead of riding the cart. They do so knowing that at the end of 18 holes they will be a little tired, but also feel energized from their effort and their knowledge they have made themselves healthier over the last 4 hours of golf. Golf is one of the few sports you can:
1. Play Outdoors and enjoy the natural beauty of the golf course
2. Use both your body and your mind in a game against yourself and your best scores
3. Play when you are young or old, and anything in between
4. Teach your children some important life lessons while also playing a game with them
I can never measure the impact golf has had on my life. I only know that it is a game for a lifetime, and if I stay fit (by walking) then i can play it for a long lifetime. My best wishes to all the Hundred Hole Hikers!

MY GOAL IS TO PLAY 108 HOLES
I'm supporting
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS is the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. LLS funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.
Rockaway River Country Club
Awarded the 2009 MGWA Club of the Year, the course at Rockaway River Country Club is of moderate length; an easy walking course with but one climb at the 10th where there is a comfortable half-way house and a magnificent view down the Rockaway River. The front nine on the east bank of the river demands good length: the back nine on the west bank is slightly shorter and demands accuracy. Truly, the course is “tough for the tigers, easy for the rabbits”, challenging for the low handicapper, pleasurable for the average player.
