Cal was invited this spring to play in the first annual Indiana Elite golf tournament for high school boys. It was an honor to be invited and he readily agreed to try it. He and Dad left this morning for his two o'clock tee time. They made it to Indy without any problems. Dad even let Cal drive on I-65. Once they figured out where the golf course was they decided to find lunch. The only two close spots were McDonald's or a truck stop. Cal wisely picked McDonald's.
Once they returned to the course Cal had his picture taken with his high school jersey and his new Indiana Elite jersey which was a really awesome color of purple. He was also given a patch for his jacket, a plaque and a shoe bag. They had time to practice before tee off and Cal started out very well just missing a putt for par on the first hole and then parring the second.
As they started to tee off on the third hole the skies opened up with a complete downpour. They waited almost an hour before the director called it off for the day. He felt that even if the rain did stop it would be too wet to continue. Dad and Cal could either drop out or stay and try again in the morning. With the way the forecast looked they weren't even sure they would get to play even if they stayed. Thus, they went ahead and drove home. They were a little disappointed that they didn't get to finish, but had a fun day of it anyway. We are proud of Cal for being invited and happy that my Dad could be part of it.
