First Bears Weekend

Friday was the last day of a three day golf week for me. The culmination was Family Rescue's 12th annual golf outing. As the six time defending champ, it's an event that my foursome looks forward to every year. Family Rescue is a great charity that assists women and their children escape from and break the cycle of abuse.



Attendance was down a bit, but there were still 70 golfers I think. Here's a picture of the ballroom we met in after the outing. For some reason, I forgot to take a picture of my foursome. Crap.


Unfortunately we fell one shot short this year at -19 as another team came in at -20. On our last hole, I had a put stop literally one inch short which would have put us at -20. Soooo close. Damnit!






Saturday brought the first preseason game of the year. It was a 7:00 game and the parking lot opened at 3. It seems like 4 hours might have been a long first tailgate, so we got there closer to 4:00, though we were shooting for 3:30. As it turns out, even three hours was too long! Oh the hangover I had today!!

The first tailgate crew of the year. LL, Sausage, E Money, Pope, Benny Baseball, Bourbannais Courtney, Cousin Dime, Sara and Blind Mender is kneeling....on his way to passing out.



















And who does this look like? LL and I both thought we had seen a ghost. She's a friend of Benny Baseball's date.
