I think it's fantastic that we have these charity events. I hope I'm not out of line here, but I will not be donating any money for Autism Speaks. I will however donate 10SEK (a little over 1$) for every stroke below par I get to "The Autism and Asperger Association" here in Sweden and do what I can to help raise awareness. I feel that my money will be better off supporting this cause locally where I live instead of the US. Please feel free to delete this post if you feel that it is out of place for this event.

I just tried to donate. Apparently there's a problem with my address. I live in Australia. Donations only appear to be accepted from USA, Canada or UK?  ? Can anyone help? |

Nice one Ola - since it didn't work to donate to that Autism Speaks I did the same for the 33$ I pledged (3$ per shot Irving finished under par). No issues with a Japanese credit card there. |

Give to whatever autism awareness charity you want. Eli won't care if it's not in the US. The cure can come from anywhere. The sooner the damn better.

Did a similiar thing to last week but upped the ante a little bit as the course was a little bit tougher - £1 per Birdie & £2 per eagle. Didn't play quite as well as last week but still raised $60 odd dollars. Enjoyed the course btw  |

I'll be streaming this week. I put a base donation of $20, but I'll play on both the PS4 and XB1, and my total under par, I'll add $1 for each stroke below par. Doing it for my 5 year old nephew who has Autism. My Dad donated $20, and someone else who watched my stream donated $20. Happy to have helped get $60 so far! AND...I had a Hole in One on the 14th! I've got proof: (See around the 38 minute mark) - Challenging someone to donate $10 for that awesome shot in support of my nephew Bryce!  I'll continue my rounds tomorrow. Most likely play Rounds 2 and 3. |

Eli said for me to say "HI BRYCE!" and that Bryce can be the host of the 13th hole. I don't know why he picked 13, but Eli was quite adamant about it.

Just wanted to say that I really had no idea going into this how much money we can raise, and I don't know what our ceiling is, but to see the donation total at almost $300 on just Monday is pretty outstanding, regardless of what the goal says. I'll share this here, as I found this to be the most informative thing that Autism Speaks provided me with to help learn more: blog.tgctours.com/if-you-only-read-one-thing-about-autism-speaks-this-week/ |

Pretty cool deal going on right here. Was glad to be a very small part in this.
I'm getting ready to play so are we posting scores anywhere?

I just tried to donate. Apparently there's a problem with my address. I live in Australia. Donations only appear to be accepted from USA, Canada or UK? ? Can anyone help? Hi Bogeyman. If you want to donate in Australia (and get a tax deduction) can I suggest: www.autismqld.com.au/page/50/Make-a-donation (or your state equivalent). I have 4 kids all diagnosed with various degrees of autism (thankfully none of them at the non verbal / extreme end). I applaud TGCT for focussing on autism awareness. Like others I am donating based on the $1 per birdie and $3 per eagle. I've had 4 good rounds (for me) this week and will be donating about AUD40 to the above Australian charity (once I check my scorecard at the end of the week as I've forgotten how many of each I had). |

Thanks for that. I will be donating $25 to that worthy cause in honour of all affected kids.

I can't even begin to imagine... My co-worker has a child with autism and 1 other kid and it seems like 99% of what he shares about his family around the lunchtable has to do with stories of his child with autism and how it impacts his life. When I listen to him, it makes me feel like having my 3 kids is more stressful than his one (and that's saying something as I'm constantly stressed out and need TGC to decompress daily). I'll be making a dollar amount donation equivalent to my round score. I've got to check Steam again, -39 or so. |

But like you between work & family stresses, I've found TGC to be a great way to unwind (whether playing or designing). Plus the whole community at HB & here at TGCT has been very welcoming. |
