We have had several speakers talk to us about the importance of being able to not embarrass yourself on the golf course. This might sound ridiculous, but the reality is that people in the sports business tend to play a lot of golf. You never want to find yourself in a situation where the boss/potential client/potential employer wants to go on a foursome and you have to turn it down because you don't play golf. Most of the class has taken this to heart as most are golfing or going to the range whenever the coursework allows. Fortunately, San Diego offers perfect golfing weather the entire year, so there is always a way to find time to get out there and hack-it-up for a few hours.
We have been able to go out regularly on Friday mornings with a foursome of varying participants and have collected a decent set of records from those events:
Lowest Score 79 - David Stark Admiral Baker South Course
Highest Score Not sure.............after 120 strokes things get a little hazy
Longest Putt ~55 feet - JP Wainscott Sea N Air (blind squirrel finds the nut)
Longest Drive 280 - Drew Zinzer Sea N Air
Most Lost Balls (18 Holes) 9 - JP Wainscott Admiral Baker North
Closest to killing another golfer Brendan Wells Sea N Air (validating the life's work of the guy that invented the plexiglass window on the front of golf carts)
2nd Place in killing category JP Wainscott Sea N Air (proved that when our group yells "fore".............we mean it)
Best score on Par 3 using only a putter 6 Brendan Wells Admiral Baker North
Best Tin Cup Moment Scott Roegner Sea N Air Three consecutive shots into the water with Brendan (who if you haven't figured it out yet, isn't the best golfer in the world) giving Scott advice on how to improve his swing. Priceless.
