100FORE22 Golf Marathon – Fort Dix
September 10, 2020
September 10, 2020, the team had an early morning rise around 0430 with excitement to embark on their journey to conquer their first 100 hole golf marathon, walking every step of the way. The final preparations were being done that morning as the rain started to fall at 0600. As the rain picked up, and the team was about to take their first swings of the day, they did not feel discouraged or defeated. Somewhere in a foreign land were our military members in far worse adverse conditions preserving our freedoms. Somewhere in the United States, a police officer, a fireman, a ems technician was in a snowstorm, a torrential downpour conducting their duties saving lives. Ten hours later, the team made their final putts on the 100th hole, the 18th hole at Fountain Green Golf Course on Joint Base MDL in New Jersey. It was a beautiful downhill par 4 on a two tiered green that had a pond in front of it siting 20 yards wide and across. All the blisters, the body aches, cramps, charely horses did not matter as the realization that the mission they had mentally and physically prepared for has just been conquered. Over 35 miles walked, over 400 golf swings, and lots of cheers from spectators made the day a success. Over $2800 was raised and donated to Veterans4Life USA that immediately impacted several Veterans and First Responders into treatment to regain their life.
