IADC Golf Tournament

The long awaited pictures from the golf tournament. Unfortunately in my efforts to not stick out to much I didn't take pictures outside the course with my fancy camera. These were all taken last Friday for the tournament which is a three-four man scramble. 

Nate was paired up with two of our friends from Macae so we didn't really meet anybody new. The teams usually consist of different ranking players that way no team is stacked to win. Although the same people win quite often. 

Below some of the caddies waiting for the tournament to begin while the players hit balls on the driving range.

Nate is already sick of the pictures :) The day has just begin sweetie.

More golfcart/caddie mixture. The course does not provide golf carts so the ones that are in use are privately owned. Rumor has it that one of these babies is around 20,000 USD..... ridiculous. We always laugh because most of the owners of these carts really could use the walking!

 

Geting ready to go.

and were off with me trailing behind at my own little pace. I walked the 18 with them just sitting out 4 of the holes at the rest stops. Of course I got a few comments about having the baby on the course. Some guy even said he had clean towels- Gross if you ask me. NO thank you, I will deliver my own baby before you touch me with your clean towels.

I assume that he didn't make it because another shot has to be made.

Go team.

Trust me that I asked Nate prior to taking these shots if he would mind the clicking of the lens. Of course he said no he didn't mind but I should have known better.

Probably a good shot with a slice to the right.

The dreaded 17th hole. A nice chip over the water to the green.

Right after this shot I was told no more pictures.... I do believe the ball almost skipped it's way across the water to the green :)

So I stood really far away to take pictures.

Eventually got bored and took photos of trees and scenery. If you look closely you can see the ocean. Most of the time the sky isn't clear enough to capture all of this so consider yourself lucky.

Different settings same tree.

One last shot before I call it a day.

Well that's about it for the tournament. The team ended up 3+ over par and with there handicaps included it reduced the overall score by 12. It wasn't enough to pull them in contention for anything but a fun day was had by all! Trust me, I was exhausted and sleep good that night.

Nate currently has plans to golf again this weekend with some friends but I think that I will stay home rather than make the trip up through the traffic. I am just glad that Nate has the chance to let off some work stress and have some fun. 

Tchau,
