Weekend Sports

Saskatchewan Roughriders won - missed viewing the game. Prince Albert Raiders lost.
In the President's Cup - US beat the rest of the world, but Mike Weir beat Tiger Woods in front of his adoring Canadian Fans in Montreal - That event I did watch.

Golfing at Waskesiu - September 18th

What a beautiful day for golf. Ron Cripps and I had planned it about 3 weeks ago and the Lord provided us a day. Harry Hancock and I set out at 8:00 am from P.A. and Ron and his wife Debby started out from Shellbrook. We met at the Waskesiu Golf Course and I suggested that we played 2 man best ball scramble - Harry and I against Ron and Deb. It proved to be an equal match with both teams ending up tied with a 91. The fall colours were spectacular. By the time we were finished it was +16c. We saw the elk on the course. One group in particular - a cow and 2 calves with a stately bull. After they had crossed the 17th fairway, the bull started t o bugle. With rented golf carts we finished in 4 hours. No one slowing us down in front and no one pushing us from behind. We teed off before 10:00 am and were back home by 4:00 pm.

Great Day for Golf

This post was moved from another blog, hence the lack of chronology.
Dan Stroman and I teed off at 9:00 am at Kachur's Golf Course. Keep in mind 9:00 am is an early tee time for me. We talked Patti into accepting Dan's Gift Certificate (with her signature) as a paid green fee to go along with my payment to allow me to use a free golf cart rental coupon. First 2 balls I didn't make over the water on the first tee. I ended up with 57 after first 9, but did better playing the back 9 with a 48 and 105 total. Dan played better on the front 9 with a 51 and took a 12 on #17 to make the game closer. His back 9 score was 53 even with the 12 so he beat me by one stroke. More importantly, it was a great day for golf... A bit windy, but lots of sunshine and shirt sleeve after the first few holes.
