My First Amateur golf tournament

Hi all,

This past weekend I played in the Kelowna Open. My first tournament. I was very nervous first day. I did have a game plan starting hours before, warming up, running, stretching, light core work out, driving range. I was unable to really follow through with my plan. I was so tight, so my body movements were not timed. I shot a gros score of 87. Net score of 76. Today I was much better. I did the same warm up. Off the first tee I was more relaxed. Gros score 82 ,net 71! I also hit the pin on a par 3 missing a hole in 1 by 10cm!!!!!! I would have won $5000, if it went in. Bummer. It was an easy birdy though.

Makaiya was my caddy! She cleaned my clubs after each shot, and ball on the greens. She also helped me align my putts after I picked the target. She was awesome. Helped me make a lot of putts!

A great experience! Helps me feel how you guys and girls feel when you go into race. I look forward to entering more next year.

Bye for now.

Iron Chef Chrissy vs Iron Chef Doug





Hi!

One night, last week Chrissy and I had some fresh Halibut fish. We could not agree how to cook it so we decided to split the fish and cook it separately. We had so much fun! Chrissy used a curry sauce. Iron Chef Doug a smokey flavored cream sauce. Both served over whole wheat pasta. Our cooking panel picked mine of course! Hee Hee! As many of you know Chrissy is an excellent cook so I maybe twisting the truth a little!

36 holes of golf





July has been great weather here in Kelowna. Sunny and hot! We have had many visitors stay with us. Last week Chrissy's sister and family arrived. They are still here. I took my brother in law to a golf course called The Rise. It is located out side of Vernon. From Monday to Thursday have offer unlimited golf with a cart for $75. We played 36 holes with no rest. We were tired but it was such a fun day!

Bye for now.

Day on Okanagan lake




Good morning,

Monday was a holiday for us in Canada. We were lucky because the weather was very nice! An old friend also invited us to go boating with them for the day. It was very relaxing. Chrissy and I were really surprised at some of the homes built lake side. Most impressive. I did manage to get a great sun burn on most of my body. Ouch!

Bye for now.
