Old Golf Clubs for Children's Charity


I have become a pretty good golf club restorer. I have a collection of over 20 putters and several woods I've refinished, and I found a guy to re-chrome, sandblast, plate, etc. club heads for me at a reasonable price. If you have any clubs that may be of value lying around the house, ship them to me. I will restore them and sell them on eBay. The proceeds except the actual money I put into them via the re-finisher, will be given to several children's charities I have been associated with. The following clubs are of value:

-Anything Titleist/Acushnet - Putters, woods, iron sets, wedges.
-All Scotty Cameron Putters
-Ping Anser and Tess Putters
-All Odyssey Putters
-Cleveland "Designed By" Putters and All Wedges
-Wilson Putters - 8802, 8813, 600, Augusta
-Virtually any putter with 8802 style (see pic), especially Arnold Palmer, Ben Crenshaw, and Jack Nicklaus models.
-Taylormade Rossa Series Putters, and Woods r7 and newer, Rescue Clubs.
-Callaway Hawkeye VFT irons, Heavenwoods
- Anything else, contact me via email, subject: Clubs for Kids

I will pay for shipping, too. email me what you intend to send, and I'll email you back with instructions.

Thanks, and may God Bless You and continue to do so.

Trilogy/Quadrilogy Update


What started as a simple, historical drama has evolved into a three-part series about the trials and tribulations of a simple, Southern soldier during the Civil War and Reconstruction. I started writing a book about the end of the war, and a soldiers' return home. The character became somewhat detached from the main theme, so I decided to start with another book to introduce and mature the character to the audience in a manner that will endear him to the reader. So, now we start at the beginning of the war.

The main character joins the 1st Virginia Cavalry. Throughout the war, these men were everywhere in the Virginia Theatre. The enormous amount of content begged for a minimum of three books. The best part is that I can write all three simultaneously as certain information transcends the whole era. The hard part is weaving the tale to get from point "A" to point "B" with a thousand sidesteps.

I was hoping to publish before Summer of 2010, but it looks like I'll be lucky to finish it this year. Hopefully, I can get the first in the series published and release the others in quick succession.
