Today, the bunghole will be tapped. It’s not as dirty as it sounds
Today is the beginning of that time of year again when Kitchener-Waterloo hosts the largest Bavarian festival outside of Germany - it’s K/W Oktoberfest time! Looking out my office window at 2:30PM on Friday, I could already see people [...]

Here’s another weekly golf update. Yesterday morning at Beaverdale, Dena got not one, but two birdies. The first one was especially nice to watch as she knocked in her 100-yard aproach with her 7 iron on the second hole. She finished the round with an 84 and I shot an 81. [...]

This morning, Dena and I played Grand Valley and we both had a pretty good round. She shot a 90 and parred 2 holes. I shot an 85 and parred 5 holes. However, my putting left a lot to be desired. A great example of this is fourth hole; a 280 [...]

I’ve witnessed two hole-in-ones IRL; Pat’s on the renovated 8th a few years ago at the Hollinger and a guy in the foursome behind us at Beaverdale last weekend.
This weekend, Dena and I played nine at Brookfield (we had a wedding [...]

This Monday, Dena took part in a golf tournament at Rockway put on by the Waterloo Law Association. By some stroke (pun totally intended) of luck, she won the door prize. Said prize happens to be 4 green fees for a round at Glen Abbey in Oakville. Yes, she and 3 other [...]

This morning, Dena and I played our first round of golf this year at Beaverdale at 7AM. Due to some confusion between the proshop and schedulers, we were only able to play 9 holes since a tournament was also scheduled. The first round of the year is always tough. I didn’t do [...]

Lately, it seems that everytime I will be attending some event with Pat, my well-being suffers. Last autumn, when we attended the Pixies show in Mississauga, I came down with pneumonia a few days before the concert. This Friday, Dena and I will be joining Pat and Jen at Roy Thomson Hall in [...]

Yesterday, Dena and I participated in a charity golf tournament at Grand Valley. A portion of the proceeds from the tournament go to the Kidney Foundation of Canada. The weather was perfect and our team came in sixth place, shooting even. We were -2 with five holes remaining but we fell apart. [...]

Dena, her boss (Ron) and I hit our drives off of the first tee at Beaverdale at 6:45AM this morning. The proshop added a solo golfer to our group to make us a foursome. He was an older gent who I guessed would be in his late sixties or early seventies, named Don, [...]

I joined Dena’s office in their annual golf tournament yesterday at Beaverdale. For a while during the first couple of holes, the clouds and thunder looked like signs of ensuing rain. Thankfully, the rain never came. Dena really wasn’t supposed to be golfing, since our physician warned against golfing until the end [...]

Dena and I just finished a great round of nine holes at Doon. The week before at Doon was atrocious for both of us. But today we, just the two us, played well. On the par 36 front nine, Dena shot a 52. She hit some very good balls, even with [...]

It was a weekend of golf for Dena and I. On Friday evening, we played the font-nine at Puslinch with some of her work collegues and a lot of mosquitos. It was my first round of the season and started off horribly, but got better as the round went on. I ended [...]
