Lowa (aka-Awol or Laura) reporting from back in Minnesota. This past week has been full of great golf, memories, and lots of sunshine. We had the absolute perfect weather in Palm Springs and had plenty of sunburns and tan lines by the end of the week. Coming back to 30 degrees, snow, and wind was awful.
A quick re-cap of the girls tournament. Monica led the ladies shooting 80-82. The team took 3rd in the tournament, but beat all the teams in our conference and region. We are happy with how we started the season and look forward to improving before our next outing. We all enjoyed playing the challenging and very beautiful Classic Club.

I think the guys would agree that the highlight of their tournament, along with winning, was that John Charles Albert Potter showed up with high pants and a McGregor VIP golf ball to the tee. Words cannot describe what happened on the first tee that day. Let's just say, have you ever seen anyone "plumbob" their driver on the 1st tee? Well I have! :) I hope the video of the swing can get posted on here. John Charles Albert Potter (aka- JCAP) showed his true colors that day showing everyone how “special” he really is.
The last night the team went out for a nice Mexican dinner. Later that night we had our annual fruit eating contest. Coach Higgins was finally dethroned from his three year reign as fruit eating champ and Aron Duren stepped up and took his place (Coach thinks he cheated, but I just think he's a sore loser!) :) Friday the team completed their trip to the west coast by visiting In-N-Out burger before going to the airport. We were all stuffed after the 2x2's and a few 3x3's, too many animal fries, and neopolitan shakes!

Living with your team for a week really brings you closer and shows you a different side of people. Mark’s chicken and bread diet, the guy’s team singing Katy Perry’s Firework, throwing Aron, Molly, and Kaytie in the pool, many cribbage games and tournaments (ahem... which I won) countless dumb moments and memories that will last forever. The team wouldn’t have made it through the week without our resident chief/assistant coach-Jacko. She made sure we were well fed with egg bake, cheesy potato's, taco's, hamburgers, bratwursts, pasta, etc... and tried to keep us all sane.
On a side note, did you know that Jacko has a fear of unfinished wood, yet slept the entire week next to a large wooden horse.
The team had a blast on vacation is excited to see what the rest of the season brings.
