The night before the
tournament, I made sure I had my clothes laid out and everything I needed in my
golf and snack bag. I reviewed the rules for we would be playing the Florida
Scramble format. This is where each player would tee off and the team would use
the best tee shot. The better of the second shot is selected and all the
players move their balls to that spot and play the third shot and so on until
the ball is holed. So no golfer sits out from playing. We were allowed three
mulligans (do-overs) per player which, we were sure, would come in handy.
Tee time was 0700. With impatient
sleep, I darted out of bed at the sound of the alarm which went off at 4:45. I
got myself together and joined my colleagues for the ride to Dirab Golf Course.
Once we arrived, the facilitator went over the rules then we were off to begin
competing.
I believe I played alright for my
first time. I had a few balls I lost and some that I hit mostly off to the
right. But the highlight of playing in the tournament was when I scored
a birdie on a par three on hole 16! Also, I made second runner up (my teammate
was first) on the scorecard for longest ball on hole 18!
All
the best,
GMarie
