We are making our way back. Today, the Greater Franklin Open (GFO) returns to campus after a one-year hiatus. We suspended classes for the day to provide time for teachers, administrators, and students to build a nine-hole mini-golf course in the morning. Then, teams of students and faculty, organized into competitive foursomes, will play the golf course during the afternoon. The weather is cooperating with a magnificent autumn sky, bright sunshine, and crisp temperatures. The coveted GFO jacket is the goal, awarded to each member of the winning team. Only the green jackets of Augusta are more prestigious. Along the way, creativity, collaboration, and decision-making are a few of the competencies taught and practiced while everyone is having fun working on the motor skills required to swing that golf club and achieve a hole in one.
