Miss a day of work and play golf? Its for the kids... alright count me in! Team 2Scotts & 2Nates.
The event was held at Brookshire Golf Club. Cool for me because its close by and I'd never played there before. They held a putting contest prior to the main event. NL stepped and showed us his stellar short game by winning the event! Here he is acting like he knows what to look for.
The format was a scramble, so no pressure on me at all for some good drives. We had to start on 15 way on the backside of the course. I was really rusty the first few holes. Lots of worm burners. I have no problem admitting the guys were better than me, so I usually stepped up to putt first so they could read my line. My first contribution to the team was a par putt, so the boys didn't even have to take a stroke. Then, my drive was used on #1. I was very happy!
Somewhere on the front 9 we spotted this guy. Couldn't tell what he really was but of course, it had to be a gopher.
Which led to the conversations of which movie sequels were better or worse than their predecessor. Caddyshack, Back to the Future, Sex and the City.... The contemplation you see on this tee box had nothing to do with golf. Just sequels.
On #6 we got to use another of my drives! Score!
Another time I thought I outdrove everyone but turned out I didn't. Then NL and I picked up my ball thinking we were using one of the Scotts, when mine was the right one to use. So I definitely felt like I was able to contribute to the game. We were all finished up and headed back in, when 400 yards to the clubhouse, NL breaks the cart.
Snapped the axle in half! We really weren't rough-driving it. It had to have been ready to snap at any time. We finished up our game at -4. We were all really pleased since we didn't even think we'd be -1. Turned out there was a 3 way tie at -11. We need to up our game next year. But our team did officially buy the beer tent hostess the most beer. We should get some kind of award for that.
