PD goes Golfing!

A few of PD's finest joined together to form a team to participate in the Defending Freedom Golf Tournament, a four-person-scramble (not to be confuse with the Z-Hills scrambles event in a totally different four-person event).   This was a part of the 2nd annual Defending Freedom weekend, put on by CPS, to show appreciation for troops wounded in service to their nation and country.

I met the rest of the PD team (Joe, Lou, Kevin and Gilles) at the driving range. Our manly salmon-colored shirts were the talk of the day (but girls loved it).  My practice swings were half decent - I don’t know about you, but I can usually predict my level of misery in the course based on my performance at the driving range.
Ian, Jason, and Shannon from the PD Factory Team swooped in the driving range right before the start of the event. They performed their signature synchronized landing and looked great. Although no one said it, I am sure that we were all thinking the same thing: …humm… It would be cool to whack a couple of balls at them when they fly by.
We didn’t have one of those nice GPS units that tell you the distance to the pin from any location on the course, but we did have music! We rigged an ipod with speakers – it looked like something out of the movie Caddy Shack. Classic rock and 80’s music topped our list. By the way, I think our best holes were played with Dire Straits.
The course was frigging difficult! EVERY hole was flanked by water, but the beer girl made it all better… She looked like a goddess – even better – a beer goddess. With that said, having her around didn’t really improve our game. She kept us distracted (drooling) and – due to the abundance of beer – we had to make multiple trips to the bushes.
In the end we didn’t win. But the most important thing is that we didn’t receive the “most honest team” award (read: worst score). Shannon and Ian took that one… They scored 81.
