Tomorrow evening is my annual opportunity to knock the crap out of a golf ball, then hope I can locate the silly thing. I’ve loaded my bag with 4 sleeves of new balls. I know better than to buy expensive balls, the chances are just to great that I’m gonna lose em.
Every year at work we have a Summer Solstice golf event that is a blast. It’s a nine-hole scramble so the pressure and intimidation is removed. Then at the end, the finishing order is determined as normal, then a coin-flip determines who is actually the first place team. Prizes are awarded accordingly, typically being a gift certificate for lunch at a local eatery and company-branded schwag. The last place team is always awarded our special travel kits. Throughout the year, our traveling folks collect up the free soap, shampoo, and what-not from hotels and contribute to the prize pool.
It’s a load of fun and I can’t wait to tee off… I just hope I see where the heck it lands!
