Jewell in the rough

Whenever you think you are having a bad day on the golf course, try to picture this video. It will undoubtedly give you a chuckle. Jewell Malick was playing in the Texas Amateur Match Play in 2012 when her ball went down into a gully. She obviously has a "never give up" attitude. By the way, she also played in the Canadian Senior this past week. I haven't heard that she had any similar disasters in BC. The great thing is someone actually caught this on video. Turn on your speakers.

Synchronized Putting

Several determined women volunteered to try the Synchronized Putting challenge on Tuesday afternoon. A successful attempt was made with 4 putters, and many attempts were made with 6 and 7, but it was decided that 5 was the number we would strive for. After 45 minutes and a well worn path made on the putting green, WE DID IT!!! Thanks to Tyler for his cooperation and to Jamie for some alignment assistance. Thanks to all who wanted to try it! It was a great fun. Even the videographer got pretty excited!!
