Charity Golf Take One

Yesterday marked my first ever charity golf tournament as a professional working for a company that partially sponsored the event. Along with some other attorneys, we basically played 18 holes at a prestigious Golf Club for the benefit of a Hospice and Palliative Care Society (not sure if it's "Society" but you get the drift).

During the tournament, I

1. almost hit an old lady teeing off at another hole, and of course, she had no idea that the ball landed right next to her
2. was almost involved in yet another vehicular accident when one my colleagues decided to drive the golf cart through curves like a rally car (he laughed as I almost fell out the side and possibly into a stream of water)
3. was witness to the amusing idiosyncracies of a partner
4. had to listen to a Jamaican caddy who seemed to know a bit too much about the supply of pot in his native homeland
5. had only one successful drive off the tee, but only to have it rocket into a tree that essentially allowed the ball to roll back and away from the green.

Other than that, I had a few good shots. Unfortunately, I didn't win in anything in the raffle that proceeded the tournament, like tickets to Hairspray or a Heineken sports bag...but that's okay. There's always next time. Fun times.
