ihatebogies Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Hopefully the title of this topic got your attention. I have been slowly putting a JDM bag together with the help of Tario and advice from Stew and others here. My next investment was going to be new Yururi Seida Rupas wedges and some new graphite shafts for my irons........but you know what......that seems like a waste of good money right now. I'm sending the dough I've had stashed away in some socks in my drawer so my wife wouldn't find it to the Red Cross to aid those in Japan. I urge everyone else here to do the same if you can! If you're not a fan of the Red Cross or live outside the US just type "help tsunami victims" in your web browser and a bunch of links will come up for you. I've never met any of you on this site face to face that I'm aware of but feel like I do know several of you anyway through PM's and e-mails and I think this may be one of the tightest group of members of any golf website out there. Take care, God bless you all and let your conscience be your guide. Stew and Tario I'm one lucky MF'er, I'm headed to the course in about 30 minutes and I'll duck hook and chunk a few for you!!

ihatebogies Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 ant, thanks for the really kind words but I didn't post this or do this for any slap on the back or a few "atta boys". Truly once the thought entered my weak little mind there just was no turning back. Whats a measily (sp) couple of hundred bucks in the overall scheme of things. As Winston Churchill said "we make a living by what we get and we make a life by what we give". As much as I've tried to buy a game over the years (not very successfully I might add) doing this for me was a no brainer. I only wish there were other ways to help. Hey Stew, I shot a 59 today......unfortunately it was a team score in a scramble event and our team finished in the middle of the pack. Funny how unimportant a silly game of golf can be when you think about what those in Japan are dealing with right now. Stay strong you guys we're here for you!
