The day started with grey sky, with some rain spitting out from the clouds. Helen and Alan encountered some car trouble on 401 on the way to the golf course, so unfortunately, they couldn't make it. Everyone gathered in the parking lot of Centennial Golf club, setup the golf bad on the pull carts, changed shoes, and of course, put on their wind/rain jackets in case the rain continues. Everyone was very enthusiastic and excited about the golf day. It was greyer, and rainier than the last time we cancelled and took the rain check, but alas, we decided to go ahead with the day at the course.We tee'ed off at around 9:30am. The plan was to start with North 9, and then move onto West 9.
On the North 9, the weather was still grey when we tee'ed off. Here are some photos of the ladies on the North 9. I was the only camera-woman, so naturally, there are no photos with my face in it. Notice the still grey weather. This is Janet hitting from the fairway on the first hole, 350 yards from the white tee to the green. She hit the driver off the tee onto the fairway, and is hitting it second time towards the green. 
This is Vivian hitting from a tee on the West 9. Notice that the sun is now fully out, and the day is getting better. Vivian's shot off the tee was using a 7 iron, on this short par 3 hole. You can see the green in the far end of this par 3 course. We switched between white and red tee, depending on the course. 
The ladies were doing pretty well for the first-timer(Vivian), and the second-timer (Janet). The forms were great, the direction was decent, even with the short yardage of each swing. ;-) Considering I had more experience being on the golf course, I wasn't doing so well. My driver swings were off, most of the time slicing, and my iron shots were inconsistent. Here's a putting action photo. Vivian has just putted the ball, and you can see the ball rolling in action. Janet's ball is sitting closer to the hold in front of Janet.
Now, the men... I was only able to take quick shots of the men, right before I tee'ed off from the next course. Two times, I caught the men putting on the green in my photos. They were fast behind us, and kept the others playing golf after us at bay. ;-) This is Alex putting on the West 6. Notice his white hat. He got a mesh tan on this head from that tan. For a few days I thought it was just a sleep mark from the pillow, but after seeing it few days in a row, and trying to rub it off, we both realized that it was a sun burn from the mesh part of that white cap. Hilarious!
This is Calvin reading the green for that perfect putt on the West 6, and Jason putting. I can't say much for men, since I was not playing with them.
Ladies Recap and Highlight of the day
Janet - Accurate iron shots. Great forms, and great direction! Losing several balls in one course int he water hazard. :-P Towards the last few holes, her rambling of, "Yun, I don't care anymore... I'm so tired..." and being sloppy with the putter.
Vivian - Amazing ability to find balls wherever they go, into the bushes, trees, etc. Very skilled at finders keepers. She ended up with more balls then she actually lost! It's almost like she had a ball homing device.
Yun - Super woman strengh of carrying the golf bag full of clubs on her shoulder for all of 18 holes in her state. The big slices of her driver swings followed by "Ohhh, mmmaaaannnnnn!", and of course the ball is lost.
Men's recap and highlights of the day
Calvin - GREAT short game, from 75 yards and in he was very close to the pin. As for the Rescue club, if he didn't use it the scores would have been lower. Also only guy to get a birdie with a great drive onto the green.
Alex - Driver-o-matic. very consistent drives (with Nike one ball). Two off the tee green shots in one.
Jason - Recovery shots were okay, plus I top my ball alot. Lots of tee shots only went past or not even past the red tees. The only guy to land on the green off the
tee, in the water hazard hole (was it #16?). Alex lost about 4 balls in
the water on that hole :P
