I know it's been a while, but I had to try to catch up on some outstanding items from the fall. One in particular was the Fourth Annual "Northender-Southender-Village People 1&2-Featherfolk 1,2 $ 3" Neighborhood Golf Scramble.
As you may know or surmise, this started out as a "our players can beat your players" kind of thing. Now it's developed into a fun afternoon of golf where neighbors get to know neighbors just a little better. Of course we still like to win, and we certainly don't want to take the "trophy" home, but it's gotten a bit less cut-throat.
This year's rendition was pretty good. The teams played pretty well, and we had a great day. Of course, one of us had a GREAT day...Steve D. had a hole-in-one on the Par 3, 7th hole on the North Course!!!
Team scores were as follows: SouthEnders (-7), Feather Folk #1 (-5), Village People #1 (-3), Village People #2 (-1), NorthEnders (-1), and Village People #3 (-1). The Northenders were awarded the "Trophy" based on a scorecard playoff from the 18th hole backwards. Larry H. graciously accepted the trophy and assured it's safekeeping until next year's outing.
These kinds of things aren't the greatest challenge to our golf skills, but they sure are fun. I think this is one of the things that is missing in today's rat race. No big prizes, no money involved (other than the $2.00 entry fee per person to cover the golf balls given away at the tee-off), just a bunch of good guys getting together to have a fun late season afternoon of golf.
Oh, yeah, just in case you're wondering -- this is the 2nd win for the Southenders!! Not that anyone's counting !!!
HOOAH
