After 4 years of adding more holes each year to his challenge to support Big Brothers Big Sisters, he needed something different; so in 2024 he got rid of 11 clubs and challenged the course with just a hybrid, 7 iron, and a wedge. That’s right, last year he played 6 rounds (108 holes) on one September day with just 3 clubs and NO putter.
When asked if he had any ideas for this year, he said that a 68-year-old with horrible ankles and a love of soft pretzels and ice cream needed more of a challenge.
His initial idea was to use only 2 clubs. But that sounded like too little change.
So, he decided to move the event to mid-October when there will be over an hour less sunlight.
But he was told that’s not enough. And he’ll do anything to help Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central PA. So, against input from many folks, he’s adding a round!
This year Joe plans on using just 2 clubs (3 wood and 7 iron, and again no putter) to play 7 rounds/126 holes in only 11 hours of daylight.
His one consistent thought is … help Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central PA.
You may not know that Joe is a 4 decade supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters as well as a past President and past Chair of its Board. Right now:
- There are 120 kids on the waiting list
- $1,500 is the average annual support cost per match
- The average match lasts 54 months
- Quite a few matches last more than 10 years.
Joe is going to try his latest crazy idea at Manada Golf Club on Tuesday, October 14th.
You can help Joe raise funds to support Big Brothers Big Sisters and the kids they serve. You can sponsor his effort by a per-hole pledge or a flat donation. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
