How to fill time in retirement

After our second day of golf and round 3 and round 4 were complete, Rodney Bicknell selected from a hat participates in a hole-in-one contest. There were five members and five guests selected for a chance to win $50,000 if they got an ace. One member and one guest were selected for the chance to win one million dollars if they got an ace. I am sorry to say I did not get all the names, but my brother Tom had a chance for $50K. Some names, but I did get photos of all golfers. The contest was being held on the 18th hole. I think they said it was 165 or 168 yards out in the fairway. They could tee it up and the pin was back. A tough placement. There is a natural amphitheater around the green so people could sit and enjoy the contest. Rodney is behind each player as they hit, filming the event for proof of the hole-in-one if it happened. Here are my photos... The 18th green with natural amphitheater Jimmy Pratt gets good seat on Randy Hayes lap Terry Mitchell Tom Provon...

This year there were nine flights and Tom and I were in the seventh flight. A lot of our competitors I knew but what I like about the format is that I usually meet some new people every year. Tom and I did a practice round on Thursday with Tyson Zecher. Tyson is only 16 but he hits a great ball. Here is Tom hitting a tee shot on #13, the Paquette hole. Roger Paquette has an ad on the hole sign. He has been a friend of our family since I was a little kid.  Here are some of the friends of the Neshobe Golf Club including Paquette Inc....

The format is simple, there are six teams on a flight and you play every tea...
