The second annual Abby’s Friends Charity Golf Classic and Gala was held Friday, June 27 at The Daniel Island Club. This year’s event has raised over $160,000. Plans are to donate funds to the MUSC Childrens Hospital, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and Camp Adam Fisher.
Abigail Sutterlin (Abby) is the 6-year-old daughter of John and Kendell Sutterlin, Daniel Island residents. In April of 2006 Abby was a lively 4-year-old and enjoyed life without any worries. With no family history of diabetes, the last thing Abby and her parents expected was the sudden news that Abby had Type I diabetes.
Sports pages, magazine covers, ESPN and all its sub-stations, and sports radio talk show pundits are all talking or writing about football. One of our advertising sales people said to me yesterday that he is so pumped to see Clemson and USC football coverage dominating the sports section of the local daily paper. It's only July, but yes, it is football season.
While it is a little early, and still way too hot for me, I love football season. It conjures up for me cool weather, wearing sweatshirts, the smell of decomposing leaves and, yes, the can't-win-the-big-one-but-I-love-you-Philadelphia Eagles.

se days on Daniel Island.
But the first-place Charleston Battery are hotter.
After winning last Tuesday’s July 1 overtime shootout thriller 2-1 over defending MLS champion Houston Dynamo in the U.S. Open Cup, Coach Mike Anhaeuser’s squad continued its stellar play on Saturday when it scored early and hung on with a tenacious defense for a 1-0 win at home over the Seattle Sounders in league play.
Saturday’s victory in front of 3.371 fans at Blackbaud Stadium stretched the Battery’s lead in the USL First Division. And Anhaeuser was pleased by his team’s tenacious defense and confident, opportunistic attack.

While the Charleston Battery was founded over a decade ago, forward Randi Patterson has merely begun his professional career for the USL First Division soccer team. Before debuting for the Charleston Battery in March 2008, Patterson attended school at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where he was a two-time Southern Conference Player of the Year and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American selection.
Originally from Hackensack, N.J., Patterson was pleased with his decision to enroll at UNCG, explaining, "I enjoyed playing in Greensboro; it was a great opportunity to show people what I could do. During my junior year I was contemplating finishing early but I thought it best to go four years in order to gain more experience. I wanted to see what I could do if I pushed myself and if any MLS teams would want me."

Bob Bryan has Mike Bryan.
Ekaterina Gordeeva had Sergei Grinkov.
Baseball. Tennis. Pairs figure skating.
These are examples of athletic pairs with amazing communication.
