| Greg Kelly Kari and Darren in beautiful Banff |
So many years during the summer holidays I have passed up the opportunity to do certain things and attend certain events because of family needs or cost issues. Today all caution was thrown aside as an event came together of epic proportion but could not be passed up.
I had an Eye appointment with a specialist, ran some errands in the south for an hour and headed home to pack up my golf clubs and some beverages for a road trip to Banff Alberta with my good friend Greg. We stopped in Canmore to pick up Kelly and Kari from the Saddledome and proceeded to the Banff Springs golf course. It was an incredibly beautiful sunny day as we got our power carts and had a spectacular day hitting the golf ball into the bright blue sky and mountain peaks.
Celebratory beverages were shared throughout the day and somehow Darren managed to shoot a game of his life posting score of 81. Had I not missed two short putts of less than 2 feet I would have broken an 80 for the first time in 20 years.
Post game celebrations included a trip to the local watering hole downtown at the Rose and Crown pub. We had a quick visit with a couple managers i knew and the wonderful and talented Weeble (Dave) before heading out of town.

We headed back to Calgary and stopped at Greg's mom and dads house to pick up greg's kids and back to Greg's place. I drove almost home and stopped at Steve's house to visit with him and several other couples to get caught up on Steve's trip to Europe. He had just spent three weeks in Italy and Spain and had some great stories to share. Headed home and did some more packing before calling it a night. We checked in to our flight and are seated three rows from the back of the plane. It should be a spectacular adventure beginning tomorrow evening as the 24 hour countdown is on!
