I met Larry in 2012 when Jess and I first started dating. His warmth, energy and smile were welcoming, and I was immediately drawn to his love for his children and the outdoors (we even had Thanksgiving that year outside in his garage in the cold St Louis fall - TCU sweatshirt and all).

 Larry was diagnosed with ALS the next year in 2013. I had the honor of being part of the family navigating this extremely difficult time. I’ll never forget how he remained so positive. His goal was live life to the fullest with trips to Naples, LA, Texas, New York, and everywhere under the sun to fish, hunt, drink Budweiser and spend time with his children and family & friends. I loved Larry and will always cherish his generosity and love. I’m blessed to play for his memory and the cause of curing this disease.

Neil Henges 

I’m participating in the 100 hole challenge in honor of my dad, Dr. Larry Henges, who sadly passed in July of 2015 following a 20 month battle with ALS.

My dad was the first to introduce me to golf. Whether it was an afternoon 9 or a sunset driving range session, growing up he also wanted to include golf into our friendship. As I got older and more invested into golf, he’d (sarcastically) give me the best advice. “Grip tight, swing hard, and always look up.” While I try my best to forget his “advice,” I’ll always remember the time spent talking about all things golf.

He was a proud father, husband, and friend to everyone who met him. He was my best friend, fellow TCU Horned Frog, and occasional personal therapist. He was always up for an adventure or simply hanging out over a couple cold beers, all of which I miss dearly. It’s hard to express how proud I am to have called him Dad. Even though it’s been nearly 10 years since he passed, I still feel that same sense of pride by sharing stories and memories to everyone.

He lived a happy and successful life, making the most of each day. His talent of positivity made him truly special. Even after his diagnosis, he never got down and focused on making life long memories for him and our family.

Dad knew he had limited time left following the diagnosis but wanted to make an impact on those facing the same challenges he would. His motto became “move the needle.” My goal for the 100-hole challenge is to move the needle.
