Shortly after returning from our island vacation, we had the opportunity to go to the Memorial Tournament. It has been many, many years since Pam and I went there, and I happened to see an advertisement on line from the Nationwide Insurance people that they were giving free admission to Veterans and up to 3 guests for the pro-am practice round on Wednesday of the tournament week. Seemed like an offer too good to turn down, so off we went.
They issued this badge to all military personnel and their guests . Seeing this, there were several people who would come up and talk to us and we would talk with other veterans. Made for a nice time.
This was a very hot day, and we did a lot of walking, but it was fun and we got to see a really beautiful golf course as well as some professional golfers up close. But even more than that, I got to spend a whole day with my wife -- just the two of us.
Thanks to the Nationwide people for sponsoring all of us.
