Played in the annual Bubble and Squeak golf tournament at Meadowlands Golf & Country Club yesterday. It was lots of fun. A Texas Scramble and I played with a work colleague Ken, an ex-work colleague Darren and an ex-ball team member Mark. We didn't do as well as we thought we should have as we missed way too many birdie attempts.
One highlight for me was the 13th hole, 137-yard par 3, was the men's guest KP—closest to the pin competition for those who don't know much about golf. (There was also one on different holes for female guest, female member and male member.)
And lo and behold, I won the KP! Some guy had popped one on the green about eight feet from the pin and I hit a sweet seven-iron that landed about one inch closer than his. What was my prize for hitting the sweetest non-member male shot on the 13 hole in Bubble and Squeak? A bottle of someone's homemade pomegranate wine and two wine glasses.
OK, it's not the President's Cup, but it's my glory nonetheless. I also got a crock pot off the prize table for how our team placed. I wanted one of the golf bags chosen before me, but the bald fellow who had one of them said he'd only give it to me if I shaved my head like his. And his friend who got an angle grinder suggested he use that to cut my hair.
I stuck with my crock pot.
