Typically, when we refer to an "executive golf course," it's a course that's shorter in length than a standard golf course – more par-3 holes – and therefore, shorter in time to complete. No surprise then that the term "executive course" comes from the business world. If business people – and specifically business executives – want to get in a quick nine before or after work or maybe even sneak away to the golf course during a long lunch, the odds of doing that successfully are higher on a shorter course that takes less time to play.
Yesterday, though, we sort of turned SentryWorld into an executive course. Well, execs – and we non-execs – enjoyed a round of 18 holes to benefit the local United Way.
Our usual league foursome of Tom Bosley (T-Boz) and his 3 Angels (Ann, Lisa, and Robyn) competed as a team. Using the term "competed" loosely. But still, not a bad afternoon at the office, if you ask me. And for a great cause!
Thankfully, the weather man who said this past weekend was wrong when he predicted is was going to be a high of 72 and a big chance for rain. On the contrary, it was sunny and quite warm and absolutely gorgeous. Our golf game may have been ugly but the weather was beautiful.
Somehow the winning foursome finished 13 under par. Not sure how they managed that but we were happy, honestly*, to finish at even.
(*You know how competitive I am. But I shouldn't be competitive when I'm not bringing much to the table, right? Simmer down, Robyn. Have some fun! Be grateful you're not "working" inside on such a lovely summer day.)
After the round, we had dinner and raffle prize winners announced. I came home empty handed but Lisa in our group won a nice golf bag and cooler. So that's nice. As much as I'd like a new bag, I'd rather it had new clubs in it, too.
That would help my game, right? Practice. Shmactice.
