Atlanta, GA - 2013 THP Invitational Sponsored By Sligo

Sorry to hear you will not make it derek. We are praying for your family.
 
Hey guys. Saddens me to have to say this but I won't be able to make the trip to Atlanta this weekend.

My wife's grandmother has battled dementia for the past few years and lately has taken a turn for the worse. Shortly before the Morgan Cup she was in the hospital and improved enough to be able to go home under the watch of the family and hospice. It was unclear when things might take another turn for the worse but the family was given the weeks to months warning. 2 nights ago things took a more serious turn and it was discussed as days. Last night we went to it would be any moment. Now we are just waiting patiently for this sweet lady to take her final breaths. She is ready to go and it won't be long before she is welcomed to heaven.

Although there is a possibility that nothing happens right away, I couldn't be the husband I strive to be and leave my wife's side, even with her blessing to do so. It wouldn't be fair of me to not be here to support the most important person in my life. I know my THP family will understand that I need to be her for her and her family at this time.

I've spoken with Morgan often over the past week and her and Josh have been nothing but supportive. I wouldn't expect any less but thank you to both of you.

I'm going to miss you guys & gals but will really look forward to the recaps, course photos and more. See you all at the another great THP event soon.

You will be missed Derek but family comes first.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
 
So sorry to hear this Derek!!! man, I hate this for you

Time to hit the road ladies and gents! See everyone soon!
 
Actually, all of us hackers on a wet golf course sounds like an injury/liability case waiting to happen...just sit back Seth and let the work come to you.
Holy cow! Epic!! Gonna be an interesting round.

Worked out good for T2 as well, picked up a great partner.
 
At the airport waiting to board. See you in ATL.
 
Stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on 85 south of Auburn. This sucks. Hoping to make one if the later tee times today.
