Team Dream 2006
Even though The Team Dream Golf Getaway 2006 wrapped up about six months ago, I have yet to make a post about it. For those of you not familiar with this event, it is a weekend golf getaway which a group of friends make each year in the Spring. The guys trek out to Elk Ridge, near Wascesiu National Park, Saskatchewan for a couple rounds of golf, some great food, and a lot of ’spirits’. I guess it doesn’t take too much of an imagination to figure out that this weekend is filled with juvenile shenanigans that only a group of men can accomplish. I believe this was the fifth annual Team Dream, but it was the first I had the privilege of attending since I no longer live on the other side of the country.
Without getting into too the gory details, I’ll just say that the weekend was very eventful. The weather wasn’t terrible, but it definitely wasn’t the greatest. We got a little bit of rain and it was a little chilly at times, but nothing crazy like the previous years had to endure. The course also wasn’t in the greatest shape since a lot of rain had passed through, so that took away a little of the enjoyment, but really, we were there to hang out and just have a good time - which we did.
Even though we were there to chum around, there is always a competitive aspect to the weekend. The twelve of us were split into two team and took part in a match-play style of game, similar to the Ryder Cup. The teams were as follows:
Fringe Benefits
- Marshal Herzog
- Adam Revitt
- Ryan Shuya
- Jason Fenrich
- Drayton Goodall
- Hemant J. Naidu
The Cleveland Steamers
- Bob Johnston
- Mitch Herzog
- Todd Weber
- Clint Keller
- Kipp Lucas
- Travis Weber
Even though the teams were more-or-less evenly divided, The Cleveland Steamers managed to steam-roll Fringe Benefits by a score of 6 - 2 (I believe - someone correct me if I’m wrong), claiming the grand prize - The Garden Gnome. Perhaps I will be able to share in this glory next year.
I managed to take quite a few pictures during the festivities and I have posted the better ones here. I wish I was able to take more shots of everyone playing golf, but it was difficult to get any unless you were in my group or in the group ahead or behind. I was able to get a lot shots during the festivites off of the course, so sit back and enjoy.
