Fore!

Thanks to our excellent client, Bell Canada, quite a number of us spent yesterday afternoon hitting little white balls around. The venue was Brae Ben golf course in Mississauga, once the site of a dump, now the highest point in the greate Toronto Area and a truely nice golf course. The very hilly course tested our skills, or in my case tested my lack of skill. If you miss the fairway on this puppy you should just dive into your bag for another ball, the long-stuff eats them alive. We played 3 groups and the idea was to combine the lowest scores for our best holes as a team, the lowest combined total would win the day.We were promised good weather and although the clouds stayed grey and pretty solid all afternoon (the sun peeked through a few times) the temp was excellent for golf, nice and cool. I started off in style with two drives sliced straight into the rough stuff, didn't even hit past the laides tee (I had to buy the first round). But my game improved from there and I ended up with a few pars for the round although my game wasn't nearly as good as a round last week where I hit 8 over for 9 holes. Still, everyone had a good time and had their own share of sensational shots. My group with Shyam and Joe ended up taking out the prizes at the end of the day, no doubt solely due to Joe's fantastic short game and Shyams crushing driving on the back nine, I came along for the ride. Many thanks to Paul for the bar tab at the 19th hole, Phil for the prizes and Shyam for organising the day, outstanding gents.Today I'm a bit sore, 3 rounds of golf this week (36 holes) and two runs totalling about 14k's and the bod is complaining a little. I can see a lazy day ahead... I'm sure there's a game on TV.

Andy, out.
