Pinehurst Bound!!
Ryan was invited to compete in the US Kids Golf 2006 World Championship in Pinehurst North Carolina.
Ryan saw this on ESPN two years ago and ever since then has made it his passion to somehow get himself there. This year his dream will come true. We will be there (thanks to the generosity of our families) from July 25-30. I still can't believe Ryan rose to his own challenge and met his own goal so early! His goal for the tournament is to "do his best". This is not some mantra we put in his head, but something he always believes and is his own code of conduct. It will be a fun experience for him!
Below is some information about Pinehurst:
