State

Boys State Golf was Friday and Saturday this past week.  After a tiring week of finals and finishing school the boys headed to Ames Golf and Country Club for 2 rounds of golf for the state tournament. Friday it was much nicer weather than Saturday.  Both of the boys played well, the team had it's ups and downs.  But what a privilege to be in a High School State Tournament and to be in it with your brother.

Tommy shot 79 on Friday and 76 on Saturday.
Drew shot 84 on Friday and 92 and Saturday.

DMC as a team placed 6th overall.
Tommy placed 8th as an individual overall.

It was a great experience for both of them.  We were all there on Saturday to cheer them on, silently.  We even brought Max along...thanks to Scott for getting there bright and early Saturday morning, in the rain, to be sure he got a golf cart for Max and I to ride in.  That helped a LOT.

Some fun pictures from Saturday...

 Drew is in the navy hat...it was a hat given to him by the Junior Golf Pro at Des Moines golf, Matt Orth, about a week before he died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 26.  The hat is very special to Drew and I loved that he wore it.  

 Tommy in the white hat.

 It was a day to layer up, man it was cold.

 Max had his turn on the putting green after the boys were done and awaiting final results.

The team.  Nick, Noah, Keaton, Tommy, Alec and Drew

 These 3 played together on Varsity as Freshman too...

here is the throwback pic from that year.  They may have changed just a little.  WOW!
