Golf Tournament and a lost tooth
Jun 27th
Golf Tournament and a lost tooth. I bet that makes you think someone got hit by a golf ball while playing in a tournament? Not quite.
The golf tournament and the lost tooth are two completely separate instances.
On Saturday I played in the C3 Church Annual Golf Tournament (as a side note I also helped organize the tournament for the 3rd year running). 50 guys played golf in 90+ degree heat at Reunion Golf Club. $2000+ were raised for the Quinn House and a blast was had by all. I didn’t win, which is how it should be, I also didn’t come last as happened last year. 
Here are some highlights from the tournament.
The lost tooth also happened on Saturday. Daniel has had a wobbly tooth for weeks now and it just refused to come out. Saturday night after the golf tournament and before Daniel went to bed, Daddy got a tissue, grabbed the tooth and yanked it out! Daniel was very happy and though a tissue stuffed mouth said it didn’t hurt at all. Now he has a nice toothy gap!
The tooth fairy did come and left another dollar for Daniel. He now has three crisp clean dollar bills from the tooth fairy.
White Water Rafting
Jul 26th
I went White Water Rafting this weekend along the Occoee River in Tennessee. This is the river they used in the 1996 Olympic games for the canoeing etc.
20 guys camped overnight about 30min from the rafting place and had a great time just hanging out. In the US if you are camping at a National Park camp ground (or pretty much anywhere in the open) you are not allowed to have alcohol. All of the guys obeyed this rule, which made it quite funny when the local law enforcement paid us a visit at 12:00am.
The officer got out of his car, pulled out his flashlight and was reaching behind him to get his handcuffs ready. He scanned around our camp site and couldn’t see anything amiss at all. So rather sheepishly he said “You’ve got a c*ap load of people here. Just keep it down will you.” I’m sure he was expecting some excitement and was rather disappointed to not arrest anyone for drunk and disorderly.
The next day 10 more guys joined us for the rafting expedition. It was a lot of fun. It’s a bit like going on a mini roller coaster, except with the chance of falling out. We only had one guy fall out of our raft and he was swiftly recovered. Another raft from our group wasn’t so lucky. We got to see everyone in that raft thrown in the water except for the guide.
Everyone agreed that next year we should do the full course.
