Weekend in Awesometown 11/20

The golf weekend went as good, if not better than expected. The golf course was beautiful and in great condition. We had perfect weather, good food, no crowds, and lots of laughs. I couldn't have asked for a better time- well, playing better would've made it a little more enjoyable.

I regret to announce that I didn't come out of the weekend victorious. Rather, it was Ben who took a huge first round lead and was able to hang on the rest of the way. (Ben is undefeated when carrying a lead into the final round on Sunday). Well all know, the only reason he won is because he had previous experience at the course. That obviously made him hit the ball straighter than the rest of us. There will officially be an asterisk next to this year's score for that reason. Even so, he won and congrats to him. You better enjoy those Pro-V's (or provisionals?)

The place was amazing. It's tucked in the heart of the Texas hill country and the scenery made it a very enjoyable golf course. Our cottages were located on the fairway of hole number 2 and you could literally spit on the green from our back patio. The back 9 was the best part. It's highlighted by the par 3- 15th which is about 180 yards and the green is a 125ft drop below the tee box. It has a great view of the green below and it's backdropped by pine trees and the winding Colorado river. (Pictures coming tomorrow)

The restaurant on-site had great food and several tv's that allowed us to catch some football in-between rounds, and then the last 9 mins of the Ohio St/Mich game at the end of the day. We also had some amazing burgers at a local place in Bastrop.

All around, it was just a great weekend. I couldn't really ask for a better group of 3 guys to play golf with. Our golfing talent (or lack there of) has always seemed to be very close and the humor is endless when the four of us tee it up. We all hope this can turn in to an annual retreat and I'm already looking forward to next year. Thanks again to Brett, Dill, and Ben for making the trip. I had a blast.

I guess this means a baby is coming soon. Hmmm.

Names for today: Ben, Brett, Andrew- sorry fellas.
