If any golfers out there here is an article on the HYPERLINK

our nephew plays in the PGA I watch the site the direct link to the article

is below the part below.

Els continues quest for autism support

Apr. 16, 2008

By HYPERLINK " http://www.pgatour.com/writers/helen_ross " Helen Ross,

PGATOUR.COM Chief of Correspondents

Ben Els is 5 years old, and he loves to watch " the Tank Engine " on

TV. Eight-year-old Mason Kresge's tastes run more toward playing his

Nintendo Wii and learning Tae Kwon Do.

That's not unusual. Kids around the world have similar interests. Not every

one of those youngsters has autism, though, like Ben and Mason do.

Their fathers -- HYPERLINK " http://www.pgatour.com/players/00/65/22/ " Ernie

Els and HYPERLINK " http://www.pgatour.com/players/01/27/05/ " Cliff Kresge --

both play the PGA TOUR. And this week at the Verizon Heritage, they're

helping to raise awareness of the developmental disability that affects one

out of every 150 children in the United States.

April is Autism Awareness Month. A card was placed in every player's locker

at Harbour Town on behalf of Els and Kresge telling them that purple Autism

Awareness pins will be available on the starting tees Thursday and Saturday,

if they'd like to show their support.
