Day 29 Thursday

Fun and Sun golf tournament today. Shotgun start. Computer picks the partners and team. Katie gets to play with Al, I get to play with Lois, and Rick who is the president of the Fun and Sun and his partner MaryAnn.

Katie and I went to hit a few balls first so she could get used to her new driver. I brought her cracked driver by mistake seeing as it is identical to mine. Had to back to the trailer to get mine.

Great day for the tournament lots of Sun...but very windy.

We started on 17, but unfortunately we couldn't putt well and boogied the first hole, not a great start.
The putting was a struggle all day so we only ended up 2 under par. Most teams were at 5 under, but that is just how it goes...sometimes hot, sometimes not!

We had a good time though and the ladies were good and nice.

We just had time to come home and get cleaned up, and be back at the golf club for happy hour at 5.
Got our 50/50 tickets that Al and Bonnie were selling. The whole tournament gets funds to support Police and Pal projects here in Pharr. Members of the police department, the City Manager, Director of Parks and Recreation were all present before we started.

The dinner was very good Chicken Cordon Bleu...and you could bring your own liquor but had to buy beer and wine from the club.

For the playing portion between Katie's team and ours we got $25. Then the drawing for prizes and the 50/50 began.

We didn't realize we had to throw our tickets in, but pal Al caught it and got them in. Funny part? Katie won a prize on the very next ticket drawn. Bottle of Chardonnay, and free appetizer at Texas Roadhouse along with a ball and tees.

I won $10 off at Cheddars...which is a great place and the ribs are awesome.

Then came the 50/50 and Katie won two wedges a 54 degree and 60 degree from Golf Headquarters which is only right as we spent $80 there on her replacement driver. Lots of people wanted those wedges.

We had a fun night, well organized and lots of hard working volunteers to make it happen, the whole tournament was great.

Came back home watched the rest of the Jets game, what the heck are they doing? they are supposed to be tanking. Oh well...

and so ends another great day in the Valley...

more later...
