Golfing with Jenny

June 31st. Oh boy, was this an experience. ha ha ha ha. And one of the most fun days of my life.

So Jenny is like my newest friend here, met her through training for daycamps. We instantly clicked. Anyway, Jenny invited me to go golfing with her and the Mayor's Youth Council, and I totally jumped at the opportunity cuz I never went golfing before and I had a chance to go for free!!

We really didn't plan it out till like the very last minute over the phone, such as routes to take where to meet and when. I was so frantic when I left the house. I missed the bus, it was rush hour, I was running late, I had to walk the long way to the C-train, and it was blistering hot! I finally get downtown, and guess who I see?! Sonbol and Mary!!! It was so cool seeing them! They were just going around China town and told me about their trip to the Glenbow Museaum, which was pretty cool. Sonbol was mean and didn't share her drink though. lol, jk. Anyway, I finally meet up with Jenny, and we booked it through the Petro-Can building to take the 70 bus all the way to the golf course, but we were so engulfed in talking we missed the bus stop!! We got off the next bus stop which was a long walk away, but we had no choice. Then it started to rain, it wasn't too bad, but then it got worse. Right when we crossed the street, it started to pour!! So we had to run UPHILL to the clubhouse. 15 minutes later, the rain stopped. That's Calgary weather for you.

At the clubhouse I was introduced to Lauren, another member of MYC and was golfing with us. Now non of us knew how to golf or knew any of the eitiquettes of golfing, and we got stuck with this old guy named Leon, who smoked and drank. It was weird, but he taught us some useful things. It was weird to be around him cuz we couldn't really goof off like we wanted to. But he left us by the 6th hole, and we met up with Farook and Natasha also from MYC, but Natasha had to leave as well, so Farook joined us. Finally, we could kick back and have fun. It was so much more fun without the adult, like we would just hit the ball, we wouldn't really wait for eachother after hitting off the tee. And I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself for my first golf experience, I'm really good at hitting the ball out of the sand dunes, and I had a couple really good shots, but I also had a couple really crappy shots.


This is me and Jenny trying to be like samurai. I had my sling pack on so I couldn't put the rentals around me properly, so in the end, I'll put it in Jenny's terms, I look like I'm wearing a gurdle, whatever that is. Lol.

After a little over 2 hours and nine holes finished we went to the club house for some much needed food. What ticked me off was that I ordered a Smokie, I paid for a Smokie and was given a HOT DOG!! After working Stampede, you know the difference right away, but me, I didn't realize it till after put the condiments on! So I couldn't really return it, so w.e, I ate it. After we ate, Lauren left, and Farook, Jenny and I decided to take some pics with the city sky line behind us. It was beautiful up there! The picture doesn't do it justice, my camara can't zoom in enough. Plus the driving range fence was in the way.


We're bending down cuz we thought if we bent down enough we could get the skyline, but Farook held us back with the bending. Lol jk.


Here's a better pic of the skyline. We decided to do some exploring while waiting for Farook's dad. This pic was taking near the 18th hole. And holy crap do you have to be a good golfer to make it over the massive valey, ravine, or w.e you call it. It was deep.


Here's one of my fav pics, where jenny and Farook are swatting away the mosqitoes from my head. Holy cow I couldn't believe how many of them there were.

Finally, Farook's dad picked him up and Jenny and I were on our way home when we decided to make a pit stop downtown and go down Stephan Ave. What fun! And what great pics!


Here's me outside the coolest book store ever! McNally Robinson!


Here's a couple pics of the "metal trees" or "spider". The real name alludes me. People are telling me diff names, but those are the common ones I've heard. If you know the real name comment and tell me!

Well, that was my day, and this has been a really really long post. Ha ha ha ha.
