Well I'm just about dried out & warmed up this morning after yesterday's GT Outdoor Power Equipment Invitational to benefit the Christmas Fund. The golf tournament took place at Green Mountain National at Killington and I do have to say this: Even with the rain coming down & the wind whipping up as the temperature struggled to hold onto 50 degrees Green Mountain has got to be one of the most beautiful courses in the east. Even through the nasty weather the views really were incredible. It would've been so much better if the weather had cooperated, but with the Christmas Fund as the beneficiary it was all for a very worthy cause. Thanks to Cassella Waste Management & LaValley's Building Supply the entire $80 fee to play in the tournament went directly to the fund. The group I played in included Bruce Milo of Rutland's Vermont Home Theatre & Drive listener Janet Cole. All I can tell you is that the weather got the best of all of us. By the time we had hit the eleventh hole all of us were ready to throw in the towel (which, by the way, was soaking wet from constantly wiping off the seat of the golf cart). With the "best ball" format we started out the day hoping for at least a somewhat respectable showing, but with the rain & wind continually getting the best of us we gradually went from who was going to play the best to who was going to SUCK the most! By hole 9 or 10 all three of us had our run at that dubious distinction but when we finally got to the refuge of the club house I had only one question...where's my trophy?
