June 22 was the 100 Holes for EJ Golf Marathon. Check out the post on EJ and her family if you don't know what I'm talking about! We met Ryan at the golf course at 9. I was thinking we'd ride around with him for an hour and then head out. I was not considering the reality of the word "marathon"; Ryan had to play an average of 8 holes an hour to finish 100 by the end of the day, and there was not time for us to stop and him drive us to our car to leave until Noon!
Ryan played with coworkers Derrick B. and Chris T. We devised a plan for me to drive the cart and watch him on his tee off. He'd sometimes grab 2 or 3 clubs and a putter, and just run down the fairway to meet his ball, drop his clubs on the ground, and hit. We'd pick him up on the green and then go on to the next hole. The girls had fun riding the carts and eating an entire box of cheese crackers, but most of all it was fun to see everyone that came out to support EJ and the Mullikin family. Ryan raised $680! Hopefully EJ will make it to Arizona soon!
