  Played my round this afternoon and used my ball marker. The first time I used it, it made me think.....the name "Andyson" is actually ON the green of a REAL golf course.....and is going to be on many more around the world. That is just too damn cool!

  Now that is so cool. I hope everyone who gets one of these ball markers uses it with pride.

  Memorial marker tracker update! The markers are currently winging their way across the pond from New York to Heathrow. More updates as they happen. I believe the longest distance a marker will travel is the one heading to Jimbog. Shows the true international spirit of both the Memorial and this community.

  TY MC for the wonderful gift from the "andyson Community Memorial Tournament. Dennis and I would communicate through email every couple weeks. He became a very good friend of mine with what little time we had to really get to know each other. Dennis was a straight shooter. He would call me out when I was wrong and back me when I was right. He had the rare ability to understand and comprehend people's post and the point they were trying to convey through words without expression. There are not many people who can read a post or read into a topic and get the FULL gist of what a player/community member was trying to convey. I will say it again, I will cherish this RL gift from a well run Community tournament. Thank goodness WGT does not have their hands in on it or the tournament would go to ruins. TY again to everyone who helped organize and run a very successful "community" Memorial tournament.

  For those that are wondering, I've left a voice mail for Denny's wife and have also now been to the house earlier today. There was no answer at the door, but, I left a short note and hope to hear back soon. If I am fortunate enough to be able to take a marker to her, I will most certainly take a photo and post it here.

  All MC has done here is prove what Yancy and I talked about in my interveiw with him. There are truly good people here at WGT. If it had not been for the contact I had with Dennis I would not have stayed. Very seldom in life do we have the opportunity to meet a person that genuinely cares about how someone else might feel. Dennis was one of those. A class act in every sense of those words. The organizers of The Andyson also fit that mold. I only played a very small part in it. Thank you MC. My marker will sit next to my laptop when I play so I can rub it for good luck.

  Oh my goodness. What a wonderful thing to do, truly something Dennis would have approved of.
  
  I cannot thank you enough for this generous gift.
