For 48 years, Dad played golf at Toad Valley every Tuesday at **12:37**. Without fail.
He played in the wind. 🌬️
He played in the rain. 🌧️
And when January weather cooperated, he even played on his birthday. 🎂⛳
Tom Brady was one of the original owners of Toad Valley Golf Course and helped design the course from an aerial view. He spent countless hours planting trees and shaping the course he loved so much.
But more than anything, Dad loved **golfing with his foursome.**
The original group was Dad, his father and Toad Valley founder Dale Brady, and his two brothers, Dan and Steve. After Dale passed away in 1983, Mike Ballard joined the group. Dan, Tom, Steve and Mike played together for many years until Dan passed away in 2001.
From there, the foursome continued to grow, welcoming grandsons, cousins, family friends and many others along the way.
But one thing never changed:
Tuesday. 12:37.
We dedicate this tournament to our dad and the love he had for Toad Valley, the game of golf, his family and, of course, **Mom's Italian sausage sandwiches.** ❤️
On Tuesday, October 6, we're spending the day celebrating everything Dad loved — including Mom's cooking!
