Jake and Adam came home with Brandt for Spring Break. They stayed for 6 days with us and we really enjoyed their visit. Jake got to know Rini (the boxer) real well. She found her way on the couch with him a few nights.
They played golf everyday, getting ready for their next tournament. Sherwood has a good driving range and then they could play a round of golf if they wanted.
Got to see Travis. He is in town for a couple of weeks before his unit leaves for Iraq. He will be gone a year. They had a crawfish boil at his house so the boys got to eat crawfish. Brandt was so glad to see Travis. Hopefully he will get home one more time before Travis leaves.
The boys leave first thing in the morning for the Spring Fling at Goose Pond. Praying that they all shoot well and bring home the hardware.

MCC wins by 15 strokes at Black Bear!
What a great few days with the MCC golf team and friends. The boys were playing in the Mississippi/Louisiana College Invitational at Black Bear Golf Course in Delhi, LA. Talk about in the middle of nowhere!!! The boys stayed in the cabins. When we first pulled up one of the first signs we saw said "Black Bear Habitat, Don't feed the wildlife!" Haha!! Well, there were no bear sightings, but the Eagles kicked butt and took names.
After the first round, the Eagles were in first place by 15 strokes. MCC has #1 & #2 man, Adam Monsen and Brandt, respectfully. Coach promised the boys steak for supper if they shot even par or better as a team. A little motivation goes a long way!! They got steak for supper. Par for the team was 288 and they shot 286, 2 under as a team. Also, Tom, the teams chaplain showed up about halfway through the round. This helped turn things around too! The boys absolutely love Tom and love having him around. It was like their day brightened up when he showed up.
This morning, day 2, we woke up to rain. They started the tournament and actually Clemens and Oscar had teed off already when they suspended play. They came in the clubhouse soaking wet...and that was only the first hole or two. Around 9:15, when it started raining again they called the tournament, making MCC the winners! Adam won medalist and he, Brandt, Jake, and Clemens all made the All Tournament team.
It would have been a miserable day for the boys if they would have played all 18 holes today. Yesterday was freezing! Thank goodness it was dry!
Great times! What an awesome group of boys! I thank God everyday that he led Brandt to this team. It has been an unbelievable journey, but that's the only way God does things!

Golf!
Chad and I will be headed to the big city of Delhi, LA Sunday to watch Brandt and the MCC golf team. Because of his poor finish in the last tournament, Brandt had to qualify against his teammates to go. This is the first tournament he has had to qualify for since his first semester at MCC. He has always been exempt because of his tournament performance. Oh well, that's golf for ya!! He's still struggling a little with his game, but it's coming back. Can't wait to spend a few days on the golf course.
