One week ago  today, Brady Henderson and Thierry Martine went round after round from 4:22 am  to 9:32 pm at Fairview Mountain Golf Course in their club’s ALS Golfathon.

The  objective of this and other such events at courses across  Western Canada, is to raise funds for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research  and treatment. It involves playing as many holes of golf in a single day with  people making pledges in support of their efforts.

This year Brady and Thierry,  both staff members of Fairview’s Pro Shop, along with their many  assistants and supporters, each managed to play 252 holes (14 eighteen hole  rounds) over 17 hours and 10 minutes, beginning in darkness and finishing in  near darkness. To date their efforts have raised $11,500 for ALS from both  pledges and a patio party (which raised $5700 alone) which greeted the players  as their day ended.
