Last night I played in the mini golf event for the Salt Lake County Corporate Games. I guess I didn't really know what to expect going into it. I certainly did not anticipate playing with people who would treat it like we were playing in the U.S. Open!
Each four person team was split in half. Each two-some was assigned to play with a two-some from another team. We kept each other's scores to avoid anyone "stretching the truth." One of the guys we played with was over the top. He expected us to play full using full golf etiquette, right down to marking our balls and strictly adhering to who had honors based on scores from the last hole.
At the end of the round all four scores from each team/company were combined to provide an overall score. Long story short, we didn't do too well. We weren't sure how bad we did until while waiting for the presentation of the event medals, the event coordinator came up to me and very sweetly said, "If you are waiting around for the medals, it would probably be OK to go home if you want to." She then showed me the scores of the other teams. We finished 12 strokes worse than the next worst team! We got absolutely killed!
The nice thing about miniture golf is that no matter how bad you play, it is still fun, and yesterday was no exception. I would have liked to do a better job for the team as a whole, but we gave it our all and had a good time while doing it.
