Thank you to everyone who supported my Pars for Pancreatic Cancer event. It was a complete success. I played 54 holes and made the goal of 35 pars for the day. This little idea grew into a total of $2800 raised for Project Purple. This will only help with further research, treatments, and support families that need it. Thanks again for the support and I hope to do more like this in the future. Some pics from the day.

Today's the day!! Pars for Pancreatic Cancer is here.

I will be teeing off around 8 am, trying to make as many pars as possible with a goal of 35 today. It will be a long day, but fun and worth every minute.

There is still time to donate or pledge, just follow the link attached.

If you would like to follow along, simply use the Golf Genius app on your mobile device, sign in with the GGID of UTNAR6 , and you can see live updates on my scoring.

Thanks to everyone who has supported this effort, it really means a lot.

Shortly after I lost my dad, Dave Starkey, to Pancreatic Cancer, I started raising funds for Project Purple. I wanted to not only help those who are still being affected by this terrible disease, but also help with funding research and treatments in his honor. The best way I found to do so, was thro...

Less than a week away until I golf for good.

One golfer, one day, make pars!! With your help, every par will result in a donation directly to Project Purple.

Want to follow the action? There will be a live leaderboard on Golf Genius! Simply download the app on your mobile device, enter the GGID code "UTNAR6", and watch the scores live. The app is free to download if you don't have it already.

Still want to send some support? The donation page is available all week and on the day of the event. You can pledge an amount for each par I make or simply send a little something directly. Every little bit helps.

Hello All! Some updates:

The tournament is in the works, looking towards late summer early fall. I hope to host the event at Clinton Country Club. So keep an eye out for announcements for that event.

In the meantime, I am doing some work for the spring. I will be raising some money early spring for Project Purple through an event I am calling Pars for Pancreatic Cancer. I will be playing all day on dad's birthday (April 17th), trying to make as many pars or better I can. What can you do?

Follow the attached link to a pledge page. You can pledge "per par" directly through the page! I will be posting more about this as we get closer and will have links to follow along throughout the day so you all can see the progress.

Please share the link to anyone and everyone you'd like! The more it is shared, the donations only climb!
