Hi all. No, I'm sorry. No Volkswagen for me (unfortunately), the Punto is still here ... Yesterday (almost) the entire IT department of Philips Medical Systems went on a team building afternoon. I'll spare you the details of the planning and getting everyone to join because that was not as easy as some of the organizing people might have hoped for ;-) Anyway, with all that cleared up we were good to go and with a group of about thirty five people we went out to play golf. That's your title for you. Now I have been to a small number of these so called 'golf clinics' and they are okay. Nothing more, nothing less. Just okay. They usually divide all the folks in two groups, one group goes to the driving range to and hit the balls into 'the great wide open' and the other group goes to a green and starts putting. When everybody get's the hang of it they switch groups and your avarage afternoon is filled nicely. They normally under no circumstances let you out on the track to go out and dig up a nineteenth hole ;-) The golf facility we went to did this another way. They have a 9 hole golf course set out and that one is specially for amateurs and beginners. We started with a brief introduction to the game of golf, got to know the official and non official terms and then it was time to start hitting the small white things towards the big green area ... Strike one! After that we did some putting practice and then we were released in small groups devided over the nine holes. This was so much fun, realy cool. We allmost felt like that Tiger Oaktree guy ;-) The only downside I can think of is that the weather was just a little too good for my likings. Lots of sun and stuff. Bummer ... Everything else was just great, and we had lots of fun trying out this game that is a whole lot more difficult then it seems on tv ... :-| Afterwards we had a nice bbq after which we all went home. These kind of things are up for a second time for as far as I'm concerned. Going for par,
