This year marked our 12th
Anniversary for the golf trip. We
started our caravan around 11:00 AM down through
After the round of golf,
we headed to Woodlake and got there around 9:00 PM. Everyone got situated in their condos and the
card playing and beverage began! For the
first night, several people stayed up pretty late, up to around 2:30 AM.
Round 1 of the tournament
began today and it was our first opportunity to take our hacks on the Woodlake
Golf Course. The course was really nice
with several nice and big homes lining the fairways. The greens were well protected by lots of
sand traps. There was some water on the
course but nothing like Wasioto Winds. We ended up playing from the Blue Tees
(handicap 6-12), and was probably not the best thing to do for our group. We had based it off playing the same yardage
at
JD shot the low round of
the day with an 81. After lunch we
played 3-man scramble with the entire group of 15 guys. Everyone really enjoyed the 3-man scramble
and the scores were all really close around par. Rex, Jimmie and Rath
won the scramble at -1.
After the second round of
golf we headed back to the condos. For
dinner we had the traditional pork tenderloin, and this year Wade included
salad and rice with it. The meal was as
usual, DELICIOUS. Wade out did himself
again preparing a great pork tenderloin meal!
Afterwards, we started playing cornhole,
throwing football, cards and more adult beverage drinking into the late night.
Round 2 of the tournament
began with an overcast morning. Light
showers came down off-and-on, and the temperature was even a little chilly
early on. JD shot another low round of
the day with a 71 beating Ben by 6 strokes who shot a
77. This was JD’s final round of the
tournament since he had to leave early and it put JD at -9 for the
tournament. For the scramble, we decided
to play from the White Tees this time as we played with three 4-somes and one
3-some. The scores for this scramble
were MUCH lower as with the help of JD, himself, Bart, Wade and
??? went on to shoot a -14.
For dinner we had grilled
chicken with green beans, corn, rolls and salad. Once again the food was awesome!! This was JD’s last evening on the trip as
well as he had to bolt early the next morning.
Round 3 of the tournament
began in the morning and afterwards it was decided that no one had a chance to
beat JD, so we all decided to either play in a scramble or just shoot a regular
round from the White Tees. Ben, Sam,
Jimmy, and Brian played a regular round from the White Tees with a couple games
mixed in, Lefty-Right and Snake. Brian
ended up losing about $30 for Lefty-Righty and Sam
missed a “gimme” putt to take Snake honors at the end
of the round. The remaining golfers
played a scramble, except for Carmen who had left after Round 3 on his way to
For dinner we had steak, vegetables, corn, rolls and salad. Sammie did a good job on the steaks! Then the Bart show began as we started to enjoy the antics and singing, and whatever else of Bart. Bart was eating EZ-Cheese on his corn on the cob, his marshmallows, plain, etc. He was singing everyone liked male wieners
