Fore!

We went golfing this weekend. Katie has been taking lessons for work (gotta love Sales People in the Oil & Gas Industry, right!?!) So we thought we'd hit a course and put the skills in play. Scott has only been on the course once this year (yes, also for a work function!) And with all the biking we've done, we were looking forward to doing some of the other things we enjoy.

We played at Buffalo Run - a basic Par 3 type course -- owned and operated by one of the Native Tribes in Alberta. It's very reasonable to play ($) and perfect for our skill level. Part of playing on Reserve Land is your ability to expect the unexpected. So here's some of the things we observed and overheard while playing...

They were hosting a Tournament Function -- their 'catering company' was a little well known Chicken Franchise -- KFC. Nice.

Things to be heard: "Don't steal my chicken." "Auntie, how many times do you go to bingo? We go 5 times a week." and "Are you still eating, you're gonna get fat...er."

We golfed with an Asian couple who were completely understanding of Katie's new golf situation and actually gave a few pointers which were helpful. We even had a few ROR moments during the game!

Our scores were nothing to remember - but the fun in the sun (wicked weather!) and laughs were not to be forgotten. As for our next adventure -- we are taking an Intro to Caving Lesson from the University this weekend - sounds like a blast and Scott is being very brave considering we are exploring the Rat's Nest Cave system under Grotto Mountain near Canmore! Alberta is a Rat-Free Province, right?!
