Jim Colton
Jim Colton is the founder and a Managing Director of One Divot, the charitable organization behind the Hundred Hole Hike. Colton was named the 2011 Walking Golfer of the Year by the Walking Golfers Society for his work in raising money to help Ben Cox, a caddie at Ballyneal who was injured in a skiing accident. Colton walked 155 holes in one day and raised over $110,000 to help the Cox family. The success of that event has led to the formation of One Divot and the expanded Hundred Hole Hike in 2012.

On June 15th, my friend Ross David and I will be playing in a golf marathon at Twin Brooks Country Club. This is MY version of a marathon as we will play/walk 100 holes of golf in one day. That's 5 and a half rounds or something like 30 miles in one day. With 3 kids and a time demanding job this is the only way I can get the golf in!! :) Hopefully the laughs will get us through a very long day! Most importantly, I am very excited about the opportunity to raise money for The Wounded Warrior Project. This organization helps our brave men and women service members who have been injured in combat. Proud to say that many members of the Ploszay family have served the US of A! (#merica). Some of you may know my father, Jim, served honorably in the 184th Army Security Agency Company, organized and assigned to the 319th ASA Battalion. You may not know the ASA was under the operational control of the Director of the NSA. Insert your joke here___________. My frind Ross is also proud to say that his mother wore combat boots! Lieutenant Colonel Mary David served over 20 years as a Nurse in the Army Reserves.Contributions large and small are so greatly appreciated, and tax deductible! You can pledge a set amount, a per hole contribution, or per birdie contribution (hopefully we'll make a bunch). If you'd like to contribute, please donate/pledge below! Thank you and God Bless the US of A!!
