*Dragging a little *** from the Member/Guest this weekend, but we had a hell of a time, except for one scary/sad event.
* 41-year-old guy, in great shape, was at the pool with his wife and kids. He goes over to talk to a buddy, starts coughing, doesn't get better, he leans up against the fence and apparently goes into convulsions and passes out. I'm on the opposite side of the pool and didn't see what was going on until my buddy's wife, who is an ER nurse, walks over there to start helping. They give him chest compressions for probably five minutes before the ambulance shows up. They then have to shock him twice, and race him to the hospital. No one knows exactly what happened yet, but apparently he coded for a bit of time, and wasn't breathing for 2-6 minutes. I've heard he's on a ventilator at the hospital now, and no one knows for sure if he is going to make it or not. Pretty damn sad and scary to see. I felt AWFUL for his kids, who are under 10, and were standing there in shock watching him get chest compressions until another friend of ours took the kids away from there and to the clubhouse. Prayers for his family if you're into that.
*The actual golf was a good time. First day was 9 holes scramble and 9 holes modified alternate shot. My partner and I didn't play great and shot +1. 4 shots back in a 13 team flight.
*Sunday we played much, much better. Shot -9 with 9 holes scramble and 9 holes low ball. We had bought half our team in our flights calcutta, so ended up winning the flight and calcutta for a nice little payout of $650 each. I also got closest to the pin on a 185 yard par 3 (52 inches), so got a $50 gift certificate to the pro shop for that.
*As someone who almost never wins jack **** playing golf, yesterday was pretty sweet.
