A double header TGA Tour weekend, with Day 1 at the tip of ile Perrot on the Don Quichotte course. LT is up early deciding whether to bear his legs or not. Its a bit chilly, but decides against it, only to feel inferior to Papa Hicks as he shows up at the door, clubs at the ready and the breeze wafting past his exposed knees. Not to be outdone , Grand Par and LT do a quick change, and off to the course. Gazebo hasn't given it a second thought, his standard issue cargo's getting another airing.
So its LT and Papa Hicks against Gazebo and Grand Par. The taller chaps get off to a flying start, winning the first few holes. GP and 'Gaz' steady the ship and start to chip back at the vertically unchallenged semi-pros.
The par 3 into the water provides some excitement, LT on the green (just), Papa Hicks and Grand par deciding to lay up (though not deliberately), and Gazebo sailing one off into the shimmering waters of Lac St Louis. The chaps decide to brave the blue tee for the trip back (with a Mulligan to the white tee if failure ensues). LT and Papa make it over. Gazebo hits a tremendous drive only to fade it a little and not quite make it. Grand Par is grateful of the mulligan.
Grand Par steadies the ship very well on the back nine, causing him to think seriously about joining the Champions Tour. LT continues his 09 season trend with a minor collapse but finishes with a birdie on 18. Gazebo is amazed at his score compared to his good round on Thursday (albiet scoring a 13 on on a hole due to excessive sand castle building). Papa Hicks plays solidly throughout, but wonders if his macho shorts strategy may have affected his balance (or was it the beers from last night...)
