Fun at the Fisher Scramble
One of the greatest games ever invented is golf. There are a number of cheesy quotes from either Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, or Happy Gilmore once said in reference to the game. Any way you look at it, golf is the best frustrating game out there. Many of us experienced this last week at the 2014 Fisher Golf Scramble at the Golf Club of Dublin.
I love playing golf and have enjoyed the game for most of my life. For this reason, I was excited to hear that there would be a fun event for students to get together and hit some balls around the course. For me, this would be my third time playing golf since the beginning of business school (I know, where are my priorities?).
One of the best parts of the day was that the weather cooperated for the first time this year. The course was in great shape and the sun was shining. Perfect conditions for golf!
My team started off pretty well going birdie birdie on the first two holes. That's when things changed, sort of. We double bogeyed the next hole, which was a par 3. I guess I could finish this post there because that's about the time when you want to walk off the course in a scramble. Anyway, we kept playing and had a great time. Some how, even with a double bogey and a bogey, we came in at four under par.
One of the most memorable moments of the day was when two MBA students (who shall remain nameless) "accidentally" parked their golf cart on the green while they were putting. Needless to say, the marshal wasn't too happy when he gave them a stern warning.
After the round everyone gathered together for awards and a nice meal. It was fun to relax and enjoy golf with friends and classmates as we wind down our time here at Fisher.
