Well, those of us that could manage to make the drive out to Indio this past Saturday to play in our first International Hackers Tournament were pleasantly surprised by the course (Landmark), the condition of the fairways and greens and, yes, even the tee boxes were nice!
Robert Ortega was our winner of the top prize of $240.00. Congratulations, Robert! Way to go!
In speaking with him later and in double checking all the score cards with Brian, the way the game is set up really works. Just by luck, four of his worst holes were drawn at random by some of the other players and thus he ended up on top!
I don’t know about you fellows, but it was a nice and relaxing that day; clear skies, great weather and good company.
I lost a few balls but didn’t really want to look too hard in some of that dense brush; if you know what I mean!
A few of us had steak or fish dinner with some of the best wines selected by Bill Boyer at the Rattlesnake inside Trump 29 afterwards. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any luck this time in the casino and still made it home by 11 p.m.! Just in time for the news!
I guess from what a lot of you were saying is that you’d to do this again sometime in January. So, let me know if you would join us again at either the Landmark or another desert course late January and I’ll see what I can do.
This time, even though we had a few players that couldn’t make it, we still ended up with four foursomes! That’s a nice little tournament!
Thanks to all of you that helped make this outing what it was!
Let me know about January, 2004!
Thanks, Dana |
