The Caston Invite & Fine Arts Festival

It was a beautiful day which we enjoyed to the fullest.  We started out early this morning for Pond View Golf Course for the Caston Invite.  I was a little nervous that the weatherman had missed his mark as it was in the low 60s and rainy on the drive to Star City.  Thankfully, that cleared relatively quickly and by   9 a.m. we were all headed to the 15th tee to watch Cameron and the Bethany Bruins compete in the 18 hole invitational.  We were a little nervous at first as Cameron struggled on the first four holes.  I think that he was worried as well as once he got to two green, he told Jacob Sayler that he was giving up golf for good.  

Fortunately, the rest of the round was completely different from the start.  Cameron parred number two, birdie the next and soon found himself competing for a top five spot in the tournament highlighted by a long birdie putt on nine green that gave him a 38 on the front.  A missed drive on the eleventh hole led to a double bogey, but four pars in a row to finish the round put Cameron at 82 and the leader in the clubhouse until the last group finished.  In the end, Cameron finished fourth out of fifty golfers putting a huge smile on his face.  He was also proud of his teammates as they shot a season low of 373, good enough for third place in the ten team tournament.  It was a lot of fun for all.






Doug, my parents and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Cameron play golf today.  The 80 degree weather made it even better which was at least thirty-five degrees warmer than the past two years.  Tonight we were all together again to watch the jazz band play in Bethany's first ever Fine Arts Festival.  The music was very good and the laid back atmosphere made it even better.  The band played for over a half hour and we were pleased that Cameron had a solo during the performance.  Overall, it was a wonderful way to end a gorgeous and action packed day.
