More golfers, better weather, and more
stories. It looks like a new IE6T7 tradition on its way. No hurricanes this
year, just reasonable weather. It was a bit below seasonal norms but the days
reached highs of 65 to 75, so the golf was excellent (well, the golf
weather was excellent)
Bagel, Fenwick and Pullam gambled
their fortunes away every day, and the toonie kept changing hands. It started
with Bagel getting 4½ strokes (sandbagger), then just 3, then 2 for
Fenwick, and on the last day it was even. The overall result? Bagel up $2.00
due to shrewd negotiating (certainly not good golf). The ladies kept the boys'
egos in check (this was a fully co-ed event), played a little golf, and took on
pivotal roles in some enjoyable après-golf activities!
The tale of the unexpected
classmate??? While sitting at the breakfast table at the Sands Club on Day 4,
we noticed a faintly familiar face at the next table. His head was a little
shiny, he was carrying a few extra pounds, and he said "I don't know those
guys". But he was wrong! Gary Reed, you can run, but you can't hide. We found
him and added him to the roster. Small world.
Great non-golf activities included
visiting Marten's (love that golf store), eating and drinking (pics below from
Dick's, Nance's and Carrabba's), wandering around in the great outdoors, and
other things that we are not allowed to mention.
