I actually won something...am I semi-professional now?

Went out and played a best ball tournament for the Knights of Columbus with Chrystelle, Brüno and his wife Kathy at Northern Dunes and we had a blast. The golf was very slow we did 18 holes in 5 hours. the dinner afterwards was good. I golfed okay. Same as always...did good off the tee...inconsistent with my irons. In my head I hit the 6 iron about 20-40 yards further than i actually do :) I putted decently, but with best ball it's hard to get a rhythm i find. But after dinner I was the champ. I won a free month's worth of golf at Northern Dunes, which i'm sure my wife with 3 month old kids will think is a great thing.


Note the spelling






Ironically before dinner I was thinking "I've played Northern Dunes enough for this year, this will probably be the last time I play". I also won three other random draws (golf club covers, golf balls and garden shears that I gave to Chrystelle since she won nothing). If my numbers were going to come up for the 649 it was last night. :) We played so badly that I'm amazed that I have ever been able to get a birdie or a par :) 14th hole was the "long drive" hole and I thought I did pretty good when i blasted it...past the marker...turns out it was the ladies marker and the men's was at least 40 or 50 yards past where mine ended up. good times...not sure if I'd do it again because of the best ball. think there will be more updates before august 16th :)

I'm golfing in Kincardine on Friday with Jane's dad, uncle and Aunt. I'm sure Jane will be ready to kill me by August 16th...i figure once a weekend I will go with either Jane's dad, my own dad or whatever in the morning for 9 and I'll pay half.

Holes : 102
Yards : 32276
