Advantage of Working at the CO-OP

Today my childhood buddy who recently moved to Shellbrook from Thompson, Manitoba dropped by the CO-OP. We arranged a tentative Day of Golf at Waskesiu later in September. Weather permitting, September is a good time to go to Waskesiu, with lots of Elk on the Golf Course.

Grandpa Duties

Last week and again this week, I have been going to my daughter's house to look after the grandkids prior to them walking to school. I have to be there by 8:00 am and make sure they are on the way to school by 8:30 am, set the alarm and lock-up. This morning worked perfect for meeting up with Dan Stroman to head out to the Golf Course. Tomorrow morning will be more difficult, since I am supposed to be at my Men's Bible Study a few blocks away from my daughter's house from 7:30 am to 8:30 am. I may have time to drop by for a cup of coffee with the guys on my way to my daughter's house, but breakfast and Bible Study doesn't look possible. Normally, their next door neighbour would be looking out for the grandkids, but they haven't returned from a holiday in Ontario. Coincidentally, the neighbours are Pastor Daniel and Lisa Graham from the Free Methodist Church. Daniel usually attends our Men's Bible Study.

Great Day for Golf

Dan Stroman and I teed off at 9:00 am at Kachur's Golf Course. Keep in mind 9:00 am is an early tee time for me. We talked Patti into accepting Dan's Gift Certificate (with her signature) as a paid green fee to go along with my payment to allow me to use a free golf cart rental coupon. First 2 balls I didn't make over the water on the first tee. I ended up with 57 after first 9, but did better playing the back 9 with a 48 and 105 total. Dan played better on the front 9 with a 51 and took a 12 on #17 to make the game closer. His back 9 score was 53 even with the 12 so he beat me by one stroke. More importantly, it was a great day for golf... A bit windy, but lots of sunshine and shirt sleeve after the first few holes.
