Fast, Safe & Courteous Event (3 May 2010)

The EC LUGGers welcomed the springy month of May Monday with the Fast, Safe & Courteous excursion onto the golf course for the first time this year.

After a swift, secure & civilized opening briefing by Coach Mary on the driving range the group split into two halves; one heading off for a three hole speed-golf play led by Coaches Pat Beilke and Petra Cole as the other half put their pitching wedges to good use on the range under Coach Mary's firing command. The two halves switched their tasks for the second hour.

The EC LUGGers proved very adept at rapidly paced but injury-free playing while observing complaisant golfing etiquette! The correct order of play was observed (the player whose ball is further from the hole goes first), the flag was attended to while golfers with long putt made their strokes, and everybody froze like vogue statuettes while a shot is being played.... Well, perhaps not quite in that frigidly well-petrified manner, but nobody was more disagreeably distracting than a stationary slumbering mouse would be when their playing partner was trying to play her shot, and that made for a very pleasant time on the golf course!
Having put three solid golf holes and many good pitching shots (and a few go at our customary balancing and ball tossing stations - the latter now done with eyes closed) under their figurative belt the group quite unanimously opted for a replay of the Fast, Safe & Courteous along with Note-In-The-Hole stints for our upcoming 'Mother-Daughter Day' get-together next Monday (May 10th). The group will once again meet up between 3:30-4PM (with actual event running from 4-6PM) at the far right end of Cottonwood GC driving range. Happy Mother's Day in advance!

To moms and daughters who are planning on joining us next week; come looking sharp, folks! There will be cameras involved.
