A GOLFING EXTRAVAGANZA
Before we started our golf outing at the rolling hills of the Spruce Ridge Country Club we all met at the Zider Zee in Holland for a family breakfast; "where friends meet to eat". You can see how early in the AM it is by how dark the picture is. I can't believe Unckie wanted us to meet there at 4:30AM. And even though we arrived before the rooster crowed you're never the first one to arrrive at the Zider Zee.
The ZZ offered the generous 2-2-2 special for $4, that would be 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, and 2 meats (bacon or sausage) . Most of us got the special and a cup of coffee. Someone ordered a western omelette and nothing on the side. Interesting. Another person had a chocolate milk. Hmmmmmm...
Overall the breakfast was filling and served it's purpose. Two thumbs up.
We all pitched in what we owed to Unckie. BUT, Adm, ended up with an extra $20 somehow and he seemed to be very excited about that. It's no wonder Unckie taught history and not remedial math.
We arrived at "The Spruce", divied up the teams, and Jenna led us off with the ceremonial first drive. She entered the box, addressed the ball, and smashed a screaming line drive 25 yards and straight. Keeping it straight is very important.
After everyone finished with the first tee (2 of7 finding the fairway). We all gathered around for a group photo. It clearly shows in the picture that Unkie Gare, at this point in the day, had his sunglasses.
Who's Colombo now, baby!
After the first hole, Team Unckie/ Jenna took an early lead over Team Jeff/Jill and Team Gare/Adm/KDH. You could tell right off the bat that this was going to be an intense match. We finished the first hole in just under 30 minutes. So intense were the shots, you could slice it with a knife. Please take note on Kristen''s near-perfect form.
After completing the third hole in just over an hour and a half and being pushed by the entire population of Sardinia behind us. We made an executive decision to move on to hole #9.
We finished the round with a THUD and carted ourselves back to the cars to get to Emery Park for Holtzapalooza or as KDH refers to as just Pooza.
We all had a fun day. There were some really good shots and some really bad ones. We laughed, we cried, we left our emotions out on that hill. And we all came back a little wiser for being there. There were no losers, we were all winners.
WELL... there was a winner. Unckie always has to win. Ahhh I'm just kidding. He's an easy target.
It has already been suggested by Thrllie that a rematch is in order. I'd like to echo that with a resounding YES. A rematch is definitely needed. This time we play 7 holes.
Regardless of the winner, the whip cream was enjoyed by all.
Good sports!
