Everyone met at Alex's house after breakfast and the girls loaded up into Julie's station waggon and set off to Pigeon Lake for a days shopping.
The men loaded up the golf clubs and set of for Drayton Valley Golf Course. Bob, John and Alex and of couse not forgetting Non Rotarian Mike had arranged carts, clubs Home Hardware balls and a really fine sunny day.
We tee'd off at 10.30 in a betterball free for all! fotunately Pauline had come along and was steadily up the fairway where as some of the longer shots from the guys were a little wayward at times.
We all came in for lunch after 9 holes when Chris kelly replaced Mike who had an evening match and needed to reserve his energy.
The afternoon nine was equally enjoyable even for Martin, Keith and Harry who were supposedly not golfing. What we saw of Harry coming up the 18th was not a non golfer putting in a really good show.
Keith and Martin had kept the game moving providing driving (cart) services and ball retreival services, certainly martin found us more balls than were lost.
In the evening it was over to Colin and Michelle for a BBQ complete with Jazz Band entertainment from Marvin and his friends.
Then a very emotional thankyou and farewell before off to bed. Slightly tired but full of friendship.

Hi Rod,
ReplyDeleteOddly your post of Tuesday 16th heading is up there but no body of post there. Yesterday's is there though so perhaps there is a lag.
Your weather is better than ours. Day before yesterday [Monday] we hasd tropical rain which flooded roads. I popped over to Bridge of Allan to see Alastair Brown - he's doing OK - and Hill of Row road was blocked so had to go via Dunblane.
Saw the Help for Heroes walkers off yesterday - Provost was there and should be some pics on website when I return camera to Graham after he gets back from walk in an hour or so. Weather for them yesterday wasn't bad but today it is rain again.
I wonder if Crapper racing will catch on here?
best regards to all
Robert
