We raised money, helped people and felt good about it.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the other golf tournaments where golf is not so high up on the to-do list that day. Recently, I played in a golf tournament that should have been a scene in the &#8220;Hangover&#8221; trilogy. It was quite the experience. Oh you know, egg sandwiches and beer before hitting the first tee. Actually, some people had finished a six pack and a couple nips by 11:00 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>I missed the blatant warning signs of what the day was to entail. Using my 20\/20 hindsight here&#8217;s what I missed 1) It was hosted by a local bar 2) there were no charities, causes or foundations directly involved and most importantly 3) I knew the people organizing the tournament. I guess secretly I might have had a clue&#8230;I just try not to admit it.<\/p>\n<p>I wished there could have been cameras on that course. The highlight reel would have been priceless. Just to recap the day, There was a cart with its front end looking like it hit a wall at 40 mph; tire tracks in a bunch of sand traps; me almost getting run over by a run away cart; &#8220;professional dancers&#8221; serving beverages on the course; and finally, a bunch of dirty golfers with grass stains on their clothes back at the clubhouse. Wonder how all that happened&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>Hit&#8217;em long&#8230;yell FORE!!!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I&#8217;m sure we have all been to a golf tourney or two.
