My Hero

Today I dedicate to my brother, who is in NJ participating in the USGA Senior Amateur Championship this weekend. It has been a long term goal to golf professionally, but we know how life gets in the way of dreams.

Cheers to my big brother who is the best brother a girl could ask for!

Great article, Danette! Very inspiring. Congrats to your brother, and what a sweet tribute you have paid him.

I was thinking of the same shot tomorrow

[Danette Thompson]

@simon0128 You go ahead! I'd like to see it. I knew I wanted to honor my brother, so I stopped at a nearby golf course. Would have been better to go earlier in the day to get something dramatic. Tried to do something a bit different and to capture the mood, rather than a "person".

[Caren]

Very nice shot! I hope he does very well!

[Danette Thompson]

@clmiller Thanks Caren! He is feeling good. I want it for him.

[❀ Lynn]

Congratulations to your brother. Good on him to go for it!

[Danette Thompson]

@lynnb Thanks, Lynn. He has worked very, very hard at it. You have to really want this to get there with all the obstacles!

Lovely tribute to your brother. Hope he does will and gets to follow his dream.

[Danette Thompson]

@ariel817 Thank you, Linda. He's been an awesome brother. :-)

@purdey Thank you, Sharon. He did pretty well yesterday and has today to go. He should be half finished by now, but no scores posted.

[Cathy]

A great tribute shot... encourage him to go for it!

[Danette Thompson]

@calm Thanks, Cathy. I do my best. He deserves all he can get.
