A Winning Day of Golf
Nothing like a good round of golf, especially when you win. Even if it takes six hours.
That was the case last Friday. It was the monthly One for the Road Golf Society outing. And this one was at a new venue, the Harbour Plaza Golf Club in Houjie. It was a great time, as usually is the case with these little mini-tournaments. But the
The week had been incredibly stormy, so it was really a surprise we were able to play at all. But arriving at the course by chartered bus for the 30 minute ride, we found beautiful fairways under only partly cloudy skies. We did have to stop several times due to lightning, but it really didn’t dampen the mood. That just gave us a little more time to converse and share the beer from the Pub.
But by evening, our last group, me included, had to finish in the dark. We stumbled in with a bogey on the 18th when we couldn’t find but one ball hit to the green in our “scramble” format. Maybe one was in the cup and we never knew it. Oh well, we still won the tournament by several strokes.
These outings bring together an interesting mix of ex-pats from the Dongguan area. Fifteen teed up on this day. We had hoped for 25, but threatening weather and business commitments reduced the attendance at the last minute. It still didn’t dampen the mood for those of us that attended. It is always good to get together in such a jovial and enjoyable atmosphere to play golf. And as the day winds down, we all seem to make our way back to the Pub to share in more golf tales.
All in all, a very nice day.
