Hope Ya Learned Something!
Long time no blog. I must admit that Monday involved intensity in ten cities, and I'm not just metaphorically speaking. I had the day off work because the government gives their workers every single holiday ever imagined, including the epic "Zimbabwe New Year", "Diagnate the Corners Day", and the infamous "Everyboday Hates Jagwinder Celebration". So methinks, what could be better on this beautiful day than golfing with fish with good friend Andrew. So we show up at Burke Lake around 2pm and much to our disgruntlemnt there was a waiting list so we signed up for the 4:20 tee-time and left to play a round of frisbee golf. We had a little extra time after that so we hit some golf balls at the driving range until the lady called us over the intercom to the first hole. I somehow manage to hit about a 12 foot put on the first hole and get par (a feat that neither andrew or I was able to manage again the rest of the day). So it turns out the we get paired up with a nice Asian couple, very friendly, with a kid a little younger than us. Little did we know that the lady was a GOOSE KILLER!!!... On the 2nd hole, she was getting ready to tee off and there is a flock of geese hanging out on the downward sloping hill after the tees. She hits a freaking LINE DRIVE ROCKET and clocks one of the geese in the freaking HEAD!!! The goose went down like a rock and we all rushed over to see if it was okay (which it obviously was not). After about 5 minutes the goose attempted to fly back to its buddies while falling over itself into a heap on the ground and making this horrible moaning sound. We figured that the goose would be okay, despite its internal hemmoraging, and continued to play. Another amazing thing happened around the 6th or 7th hole. There was some water about 40 or 50 yards away from the tee and Andrew hits a line drive that richochets OFF THE WATER, bounces up the hill and lands about 30 foot away from the green... It was incredible, his ball pulled a Jesus-like maneuver and walked right across the water. Turns out our good friends only paid for 9 holes and had to leave us and it was getting dark so Andrew and I played "speed golf" for the remainder of the holes. Speed golf entailed getting 1 and ONLY 1 practice swing, after which we would yell at each other "HOPE YA LEARNED SOMETHING!" Other rules include both players teeing off at the same time and running down the fairway to find your ball. Oh yeah and the first person to the green first wins. Wins what? I have no idea. We ended up finishing 15 out of 18 holes and had a heck of a fun time in the process. Good times had by Paul. Oh yeah, we got a sweet pool table at my house so we need to hit that up this weekend.
