I’m not sure where to begin, but wow what an outstanding weekend. I have 800+ pictures to sort through, and it’s a delight going through them all. I had an absolute blast this weekend. It was awesome to see our event double in size from last year, and a joy being able to capture it on camera.
Massive, massive props to @cfrench for organizing and busting her ass off to make this an awesome event. I saw firsthand how much work went into getting this event ready, and it truly was an outstanding event. We raised $1813 $2058 for SickKids Cardiology.
Thanks to @Bladetheist for MCing the event and @tniloc for getting everything setup on Golf Genius. Congrats to newcomer Mackenzie for crushing her quota by 11 points.
The course was perfect, and played like a true links style course. Baked out, and firm and fast with thick but playable fescue throughout the course.
Special mention to @duncmitchell - you remain The Duck Club’s Ambassador of Vibe.
Thanks to @newballcoach for providing us with the memory of the weekend. With a large gallery watching on, he chunked a wedge into the front bunker, skulled the bunker shot over the green and left himself with a 30 yard chip down a severely sloped green. Many in attendance wondered if we were going to witness the dreaded 4 chip. To our delight he did not buckle to the pressure. With all eyes on him, he struck the purest chip. Landing softly, it trundled down the slope towards the flag, we watched with baited breath. Time froze as it approached the pin - and hit the stick and dropped into hole. The crowd erupted with thunderous applause and stormed the green. It was one of the coolest moments I’ve ever seen on the golf course. Truly the people’s champion.
Extra shoutout to those who made the long distance trek, it was great to meet you in person for the first time, and I’m so glad you could help make our event even better.
An amazing golf course and amazing weather help, but the event really was made by a group of outstanding people. I can’t put in to words just how much I enjoyed this event. Thanks to everybody who attended for proving that it really is about the friends you make along the way.
See you all next year.
