Best ball golf tournament raising funds for C3's young triathletes. Luckily, I wasn't the cart driver so I took every opportunity to run to pick up balls and bushwhack into creeks to find balls that others had left behind. It meant I got some exercise. I managed to resist the frequent visits of the beer cart and maybe that's why I think 9 holes would have been plenty.
It was my 2nd time golfing in the past few decades so it took a long time for my body to remember how. I didn't know the rest of my foursome, who were longtime work colleagues, but they were friendly and very polite about my poor skills and rare good shots. The woman driving my cart was from St. Andrews - yes, *that* St. Andrews - so she really knew her stuff.
Given my inconsistent track record, my teammates looked a little shocked when we got a par on the 18th hole using all 4 of my shots. Of all the sports I've done, I guess I was most competitive at golf but that was a very long time ago. Today proved that I wouldn't have the patience for it anymore but I'll try to get to this golf tournament every year. Maybe it will help if I drink the beer next time!
