gal-f

so i took a mid-week holiday and caddied for my sister at a two-day tournament in toronto. the weather was perf! warm and sunny with a great breeze, however the golf was not quite so-brilliant... mainly because the course was very difficult (Bayview) and the greens were unbelievably fast and the pin placements treacherous. whoever set it up on that first day was a real masochist... and likes 6 hour rounds because everyone is trying to figure out "what the hell's going on" on the greens, or perhaps they just don't appreciate the different skills in women's golf.
not wanting to sound like I'm devaluing anything or anyone else in the tourney I can say that my mercurial souer didn't really get going until the back nine in the second round: par-par-birdie-birdie-birdie... some incredible putts that her caddy (aka ME) read marvellously, and she could've made a couple of more on the way in too!!!! But at least she survived a sudden yearning for the fence and someone's backyard (from a bunker no less -- SCULLY!), and held it together for a one under 35 and the best back nine of the 2nd day. Alas she finished about 24th overall out of 55 or so, but it was all great fun and so much better than being at a desk in a cubicle-d office, where I am right now counting the minutes until the weekend... cheers, MIKA.

p.s. teeing off at 10 tomorrow... maybe some of her sublimeness will help me.
