Snow on Match Day

Bethany was scheduled to play Oak Farm Montessori at Cobblestone Golf Course this afternoon.   Cobblestone was a gorgeous course to play.  It was well maintained, challenging, and beautifully landscaped.  Oak Farm was a also new team and a possible win for the Bruins.  Thus, we were all excited for the match.  Early in the morning, however, it looked like it wouldn't happen.  The weather was cold enough to bring snow and we were afraid that Oak Farm would have to cancel.  Thankfully, the sun came out in the afternoon and the weather warmed up, so at 4 p.m. today we all headed to Kendallville.

Cameron started off on the second hole.  It was a long walk out to the tee, but Cobblestone had paved cart paths which made it a lot easier on my ankles.  It was apparent after the first couple of shots that Bethany would probably be the victor tonight, so our focus changed instead to hoping that Cameron would play well.  A saved bogey out of someone's yard gave us a little bit of pause, but Cameron held his composure, hit the ball well, made some nice putts and led the team with a 41.  We were freezing by the end as the temperature pretty much matched his score, but we were also extremely happy for Cameron and the Bruins as they pulled to 2-2 on the season.

For Doug, this match was a walk down memory lane as he had played in many golf outings at Cobblestone when he worked for Group Dekko years ago.  He knew Erica Dekko, the owner, talked to her husband after the match learning that he now ran the golf course.  Her son wasn't quite the golfer that Cameron was, but it was neat seeing how Oak Farm had taken off as Doug remembered when the Dekko family first started the school.  Overall, it was a wonderful night on the golf course and we were happy that the new team thought to call Bethany to schedule a match.  We all enjoyed it immensely.
