Workman Nydegger Golf Tournament

Nick signed us up to play in the annual golf tournament at his work. He has golfed twice, and I have never golfed at all, so we were hoping to get on a team that would be good enough to carry us since we wouldn't be contributing much. They had little competitions along the way and there would be prizes and a barbecue at the end of the 18 holes.

We golfed at Eaglewood Golf Course in North Salt Lake. It was a beautiful course and we enjoyed being outside (except that we both got too much sun!) I was surprised how much I enjoyed golfing and would actually like to take some lessons one day to improve my game!



The funnest part for me was hole 3. My beginner's luck really came through! Here is a picture of that particular hole. I was driving the ball from the area by the large tree on the right-hand side and we were aiming for the green where the flag is over on the left-hand side of the picture. I swung mightily and the ball went soaring (rare, because mine usually didn't catch much air). When we got to the green, we were all amazed to see that my ball had landed only about 2 feet from the hole. How amazing is that! So, I won the prize (gift card for a golf store) for closest drive to the hole.
