Today was a very interesting golf tournament. The format was a four man best ball and each team played together as a fivesome. Steve followed along with them keeping score and giving tips as he needed to. I don't know how most teams fare in this type of competition, but ours turned in their worst 18 hole team score this year. The course was definitely challenging with a lot of hills, hazards and fast greens.
I think for boys, however, the most challenging part was staying focused for 18 holes together. On one hole the boys pulled a dead tree out of the ground, so Cal had a better shot. They laughed when one of them hit a bad shot and even walked down the fairways snacking on a can of Lays. I believe the highlight of the day was when Jeffrey used a turtle as a ball maker. Even Coach Coverstone laughed at that one.
All in all it was a lot of fun watching them. I realize that besides Tristen's 78, there wasn't much to celebrate. It was, however, a great day for team bonding. They are a great group and have been friends for a long time. As they lay down around the green on the last hole waiting for Tristen to decide between putting or chipping a crucial shot, I know that they created a memory that they will hold onto for quite awhile.
