Week two is complete and the weekend has really mixed up the leader board. All teams have managed to reach Glasgow and all but 3 have managed to reach Broadacre North Allerton. Atletico Building Systems still take a clear lead already making it past Manchester Airport, Their progress is so substantial that they could potentially jet off for a few days and still maintain their lead. There is tough competition for second place and the race is on to see who can be the first to see the boys in blue at Everton Stadium, with only 2 miles between teams Completely Floored and Not Fast Just Furious. Walking 9-5 have dropped off slightly leaving 31 miles between them and second place, but I’m sure this will only spur them on. The Pacemakers have benefitted greatly from their transfer and with their new addition they have took a lead over Scrambled legs and are only 9 miles behind 5th place, the Stroll Patrol. Current League Standings (After 11 days of walking) 1. 775m Atletico Building Systems          2. 591m Completely Floored                      3. 689m Not fast just Furious                     4. 660m Walking 9-5                                       5. 566m The Stroll Patrol                               6. 557m Pace Makers                                     7. 527m Scrambled Legs                              8. 430m Aches & Panes                                9. 415m Red Hot Chilli Steppers                Top 3 Individual performers at present; 1. 190m Jack Syddall                     2. 152m Jamie Woollands            3. 132m Matt Zacharenko           We have now reached 86% of our current target of £7,500 on just giving, which is amazing, it is very time consuming and it is amazing to see everyone putting in the effort. Keep up the hard work and get those steps in where possible. https://lnkd.in/eZM4EWHm #Charity #PACT #HorburyGroup #Construction #TeamWork #1346miles

Have you checked out ep 23 with Stephen McGuinness yet? In this short clip he chats about how he secured a deal as General Secretary of the PFAI (Professional Footballers Association of Ireland) to ensure a steady income stream for the association. Rather than accepting money from the likes of John Delaney at the FAI, Stephen talks about the importance of the association being self sufficient to prevent any potential conflicts of interest. Brokering a deal with the players themselves, where the money received from the players image rights goes directly to the players association. This effectively means that the higher earning players (those based in England for example) would be donating larger amounts as their image rights would be worth more. Meaning that players on lower wages (those based in Ireland in particular) would benefit from having a strong union to help support them throughout their career. This is just one of the many insights he gives on the behind the scenes business of professional football in Ireland. And the challenging work the PFAI do to bring about better working conditions for Irish professional footballers. Discussing landmark cases such as the Irish Women’s team strike in 2017 and the newly introduced min wage structure for players in the League of Ireland. If you are a passionate Irish football fan, this is an episode that will have you enthralled from start to finish.

🧩✨ #AutismAwareness Top 36 Golf Course Rankings: Post 20 - Course #17⛳️ 🧩 💰 DONATE - Please help us get there by donating $36 today: https://lnkd.in/e4MFcQfd To represent the 1 in 36 kids affected by Autism in the US, I will be counting down my Top 36 Golf Courses that I have ever played with a short story/memory for each. If you could please consider donating $36 (or more) to Els for Autism via the link above, I would appreciate it ❤️ Golf Course #17 - Ohoopee Match Club As we make our way to course #17, we go to play one of the newest golf courses on my list, Ohoopee Match Club. Opening in 2018, Ohoopee is found in the rural town of Cobbtown, GA and was designed by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner. It is owned by successful businessman and golf enthusiast, Michael Walrath, who at age 32 sold his company, Right Media, to Yahoo. Often recognized by its unique “onion” logo, the land on which the course sits used to be a successful onion farm. This type of soil and dunes lends itself to be the perfect turf for excellent golf course conditions, often playing firm and fast to challenge the golfer’s creativity. The word that comes to mind when thinking about the Ohoopee experience is FUN - the lodging, food, service, caddies, and course are amazing and create a memorable weekend. One of the most unique things about Ohoopee is that the course has 22 holes in total with two different 18-hole routings, the championship routing and the whiskey routing, which enables you to have a totally different round while playing on the same property. One other unique aspect that caught me off guard is there are no tee markers. This is by design as the course is meant to be played with Match Play, allowing the golfer with honors to choose how he/she wants the hole to be played. I was amazed by Ohoopee and “the hang” it creates, which has proven to be the successful modern course model that many other courses now are trying to immulate. If you go to play Ohoopee soon, I have no doubt that you will have an amazing time ⛳️
