Golf Day At Heather Glen
On 11 June 2010, my fellow co-workers and I enjoyed a day of golfing at Heather Glen Golf Course on the eastern edge of Calgary, Alberta.  Most of us played 18 holes of the "Creek and Grove" off the blue tees (6502 yards total), and despite the generally wet course due to several days of rain, we were lucky to have very pleasant weather throughout the day.  My lousy score will go unmentioned here, but I was quite ecstatic when I managed to get par on one of the Par 3 holes!
Now if I can only play off AstroTurf all the time... L to R, Gary Cossette, Kevin Motokado, and Tim Embree warm up on the driving range.
Another misguided fan of Pittsburgh sports teams. Guy Robart is already asleep at the wheel!
The clubhouse looks a bit like a townhouse complex... The participants gather for some final instructions before the first tee-off.
So far, so good. I'm still at even par! The first group to tee off includes (L to R) Simon Wilson, Kevin M., Sonny Bou, and Mike Annis.
Let the fun and games begin! Kevin M. swings his driver.
Kevin organized this event for us. Thanks, Kevin! The second foursome includes (L to R) Jenny MacLean, Kevin Truman, Guy, and Chris Martin.

George doesn't actually work with us anymore, but he still managed to get the day off from his new job to come golf with us! The third foursome includes (L to R) Nick Klus, Ryan Palmer, George Goulet, and Tim.

Gary could easily pass himself off as a mobster! The final foursome includes (L to R) Pat Leslie, James Neale, Gary, and Trevor Shannon.

Gotta love Chris's face! Chris tries to whack Kevin T. with a fairway iron.

Serge was one of the designated hecklers on this day! Serge Harvey finds somebody's ball in a pond.

My game was in full "sucking" mode at this point! Sonny has some trouble finding his ball outside the fence.

Nice looking swing, Chris! Chris tries whacking the golf ball for a change!

Watch that follow-through! Guy has a tough obstacle to get around.

It's amazing how often balls end up here! Tim also likes to play from outside the fence.

Looks like he's stirring a martini! Nick goes fishing for his ball.

Taking care of business...no. 1 business, that is! Kevin M. inspects a chain-link fence near a tee box.
Kevin won one of the two "longest drive" competitions on the day. Mike watches as Kevin M. pounds the ball down the fairway.
Still trying to kill it like Happy Gilmore... Sonny winds up for a drive.
For a guy who hadn't golfed in a couple of years, Simon played pretty well on this day. Simon takes a chop at his ball.
I think they were more chatty on the course than all the foursomes! Jana Sears and Maureen Feenstra have a later start playing just the back nine (Grove).

Look at the bend in the club! Kevin M. is swinging a fairway wood.
Mike was a fun partner to play with. Mike tries to chip the ball close to the flag.
I think she's a better volleyball player than golfer... Jenny appears to be taking a practice swing.

Didn't his partners allow him a gimme here?? Guy makes an easy tap-in.

Ryan apparently isn't single anymore. Sorry ladies! Ryan chips his ball out of a bunker.

In the hole! Simon putts from the fringe as Kevin M. prepares to pull the flag out of the hole.
Mike still shot one of the best rounds of his life on this day. Mike misses his putt just a little to the left.
I had the line but not the speed... Simon watches as Sonny leaves his putt short by about a foot.
Ahhh...sure beats working in the office! Chris takes a nap while Jenny sets up her shot.
