Golfing with the dinosaurs

As you can see lots of fun was had at the Calgary Hackers golf tournament which was held in Drumheller on September 20th. The golf course was quite challenging however the spectacular scenery was a good distraction from the depressing number of lost balls.

The tournament was to celebrate the completion of our league's first successful golfing season. What league you're probably wondering? Well the 'we could have been professionals if we started at 4' league of wannabe's! This was my first time running a golf league and my first attempt at organizing a golf tournament. It was pretty straight forward seeing as the participants are as easy going as the coordinator.

This was definitely the most enjoyable golfing season I have had since picking up the sport. My game's improved by leaps and bounds (yes, there was much room for improvement) because I golfed at least once a week. The winter's going to be tough but thankfully I can partially relieve my withdrawal symptoms at the indoor golf domes. I'm bummed about missing half the season next year but I figure if I golf three times the amount in two months it'd be almost like the past summer with the addition of golfer's elbow and a wicked tan.
