Friday was Martin/Martin's annual golfing day. As soon as I walked in the door, I could tell everyone was amped up about the big tournament. People were walking around in shorts and discussing putting strokes rather than site development and project deadlines.
I thankfully departed from work early and arrived at the course at 11:30am. My scramble partners were a ski bum with golf skills and two complete newbies to the game. After the third hole, one of the amateurs, a Taiwanese hydraulics guru sprained his thumb and was a cheerleader the rest of the round. We shot a respectable 1 over with 95% of the shots coming from the two experienced golfers. We were threatened by wind and rain (and the distant rumbling of thunder), but we completed our round without incident.
After golfing we were treated to a fantastic BBQ buffet, including mac and cheese! Prizes were awarded to long drive, closest to the pin, and overall scores. I won a closest to the pin award (which was surprising because I was at least 30 feet away) and received a $50 gift card to the course's pro shop. Sweet!

Glad you're settling in, sounds like a pretty cool place to work. Colorado is gorgeous, I'm so jealous!
I take it that you were one of the "experienced" golfers? It sounds like you had a great time.
