Father-Daughter Day (21 June 2010)

The EC LUGGers went co-ed for our Father-Daughter Day event with few granddads showing up to aid and abet the little (and not-so-little) LUGGers through Coach Mary's fantastic obstacle course relay race and 9 holes short game challenge course.

We started off at the shaded end of the driving range where, after a ball hitting session, the LUGGers and their granddads were grouped into different teams for the race. The balance pods were deftly navigated by most while the spinning disc proved quite tricky to manipulate by flat and full bellies alike. Patience was quickly learned by our youngest lasses at the ball tossing station, and the granddads really earned their cheers at the final ball striking station, scoring a ton of time-deduction by landing their pitch shot over the designated zone.

The short game challenge with rule-quizzes in the holes and chipping challenges on the pitching green went smoothly. It was a fun afternoon for both the LUGGers and their granddads, highlighting another great aspect of the game of golf - it allows for quality socializing time between family members (as long as we aren't counting the score or correcting the swings, that is).

Next Monday (June 28th)'s Eagle Division Championship & Banquet (register at 3:30PM with event running from 4-6PM) will be our last regular event of the year. The EC LUGG will take 2 weeks off before recommencing for our Summer Camp from July 12-23 (3-5PM Monday, Wednesday, Friday). We hope to see everyone next Monday for a proper wrapping of the El Cajon LUGG's first season!
