Several weeks ago, I drove an hour and a half to a city south of Orange for LivingWell’s annual Golf Fundraising Tournament @ this BEAUTIFUL golf course called Tijeras Creek Golf Club. Now, I have played golf maybe twice in my entire life… I enjoyed it but I realized that I needed to commit to playing often if I was to improve my ‘game.’ My role at the tournament was quite simple. Take pictures of people golfing. As I drove around in the golf cart with my fabulous coworker Nancy, I remembered the time in Florida when my Grandpa let me drive the golf cart and I turned to face forward as my Grandpa was yelling “stop! stop!” and came within inches of hitting a tree. I must say that my golf cart driving has greatly improved since that moment 15 years ago.
The beauty of the landscape was enough to make ANYONE want to golf… As I was capturing the swings of all the faithful LivingWell supporters, I was tempted to pick up a club and give it a shot. Below are a few pics. from the golf outing:
I had no idea golfers were so into ‘accessories’ for their golf clubs and whatnot…
Something about this guy’s hat reminds me of a golfer, but I can’t quite place the name… maybe that guy from “Happy Gilmore” who kept yelling at him to distract him??
Here is a pic. of my co-workers and some amazing LivingWell volunteers that made this event happen!
One of the ‘fundraisers’ we did at this event was sell ‘raffle ticket numbers’ that were then written on golf balls and dropped from the helicopter. The person’s golf ball that rolled into the hole could win lots of money. The winner that day won $1500. woo hoo.
