Year Two Day Seventy One - Batteaux Creek

Dear all, 

Ahhhhh, Batteaux Creek - one of Collingwood's finest and heralds a fabulous reputation as being a splendid golf course frequented by (mostly) extremely good golfers. http://www.batteauxcreek.com/

As duly anticipated, I am still treading the boards of the driving range as a virgin golfer, still struggling with a large majority of my technique  yet teetering on the edge of glory as long as I continue to avoid hitting a human with my ball as opposed to the fairway. I am most certainly not ready for Batteaux Creek but I was intrigued by this hallowed ground do decided to explore the morning of a local Golf Tournament which Darren and Scott had fortuitously entered. 

So, instead of joining the boys, I decided to run to Batteaux Creek ( about 5 miles) and wait for them at the entrance to wish them luck in their tournament.

 I arrived early after a speedy run down Highway 124 but on arrival into the Golf Club Parking Lot, it appeared that no one at Batteaux Creek had ever seen (a) a young girl (b) a runner (c) a young girl running down the drive way in an attempt to wish her boyfriend good luck in the golfing tournament.

 At least 10 different (official looking) people came up to me to ask 'are you lost?', 'do you need help?', 'who are you?', 'are you a TV reporter?' (**not really) which led me to become increasingly more nervous as I waited in the parking lot for Scott and D.

Eventually, I decided to head back and I passed them back on Highway 124 as I was galloping down the hard shoulder. They had a great day and expressed deep appreciation for the fabulous course. One day I will get there! 

And in other news:

1. The Canada Geese are having a (recommended) pause before their big flight down south... which only means one thing... summer is {nearly} over.. 

2. .. Summer may be over but my herb garden is blooming! Check out our Lemon Grass!
