Went up on Friday with Johnny and Lynn and met up with Uncle Greg to play a round. My first round was fun. I can say that I enjoyed my time, but it isn’t a hard time with these guys. Good times all around. They gave me some pointers and I have to say they helped by the next day.
Friday night was a smorgasbord of Gaspesians as the McIntosh Inn. A few beers were consumed and we retired for the night.
Saturday came with a bang – to my head. Man, I didn’t feel too hot that day. Our tee off time was 10:45 so I took my time meandering around the room. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain outside. We decided to play golf anyhow and by the 3rd hole I was walking in puddles (otherwise known as my sneakers). It was a crap day, but on the whole, we had fun regardless. We played best ball so I can’t tell if my score improved from the day before but I would like to think it did.
Lynn ended up coming in second in the tourney which shows me that I should have been following his instructions more on Friday than the others. 😉
A steak dinner and another night of partying ended the golf weekend and we returned home on Sunday morning to start on Lynn’s roof since it was looking like rain for the rest of the week. That took a good 6 hours to do a portion but it was good times and it wasn’t too hot.
All in all, the Gaspe golf tournament was an amazing time and I’ll definitely be going up next year. I cannot say that I know too many people but it’s nice to see some of my parents friends that haven’t been around for 20 years.
The golf tourney puts things into perspective for me…living in a city where I didn’t grow up, it’s hard to see most of the people that you would have seen in the school – so if you have a chance at a reunion of sorts, go for it! You won’t be disappointed.
