Kudos To Brad and the guys....

I had the good fortune of being invited to play in the Brad Richards Celebrity Golf Classic and even better I got to play with Grant Marshall. It was a beautiful day and the volunteers from the Children’s Wish Foundation and the Autism Society of P.E.I. were in full force helping Golf Links put together a very exciting day for all those involved. Like a lot of the celebrities who came to PEI to support Brad on this very worthy cause, Grant Marshall was a class act. He's an excellent golfer and was very polite and courteous to us hackers but where he stood out was when he came across some of the kids who were guests of the host charities. In every case he offered up conversation and autographs and in one case Grant asked a very "talkative" young Darcy (shown in the attached picture) to walk with us from the tee to green and then Grant helped Darcy make our putt. The whole group of kids followed and roared with excitement as we teed off from the next hole. Everywhere we went we were welcomed by an appreciate group of volunteers and not to be out done where all the celebrities who were very enthusiastic and went out of their way to pay attention to all the kids. Brad's Mom and Dad must be really proud of their son as this is a great thing he is doing for the charities and all Islanders should be very thankful for having such a great young man as one of our Island ambassadors. Next year if you're looking for something exciting to do, then take the day off and go to the Brad Richards Celebrity Golf Classic.... just walk around following some of the kids and you'll have a great day...
