The Challenge of Golf

Some days start out as easy-as-pie and others seem to have a slight obstacle or two. The "Golf Challenge" with Stinky, Kit Kat and Beer Goggles hit the rough a couple of times on a normally-relaxed Sunday morning...

Conversations are somewhat edited but are based on actual events. ;)

Me: Are you guys awake?

Kit Kat: Yes

Me: Ok, I think you have to be at the course SOON...you'll never make it to wedding otherwise...

Stinky: We missed the last tee time before the tournament begins...where are they??

Me: Er...hmm...

Thankfully the pro shop attendant persuaded the older tournament guys to let us tee off before them...don't think they realized we would take so long but we realized their frustrations with waiting as they began to tee off before we left for the next hole. Their aim was pretty good...not sure if it was at us or the pin...

I also realized that hearing "FORE" screamed out does not assist me in actually hiding from the errant golf ball as I have no idea which direction it is coming from on an open golf course.

To summarize:

Golf Lessons: $300

Bucket of Practice Balls: $5.50

Green Fee: $33.00

Team Spirit: Yes, for the girls' team.

Mosquito Bites: 8 (the girls deflected the buggers to the unsuspecting boys!; last count, Kit Kat 5 and Beer Goggles 3)

Lost Club Cover: 1

Recovered Club Cover: 1 (tourney guys had it in his clubs)

Number of trees hit by a golf ball: More than 3 (no trees were hurt from the stunts that we are aware of)

Number of times the ball went backwards from tee off: 1 (it should be noted we had somewhat quick reflexes)

Posing like Camilo Villegas: Yes (didn't think it was possible.)

Number of swear words increasing at an exponential rate of 10 by Beer Goggles: 1

Beating Beer Goggles and rubbing it in: Priceless
