Usually, I attend the festivities at Fort Edmonton Park every year to celebrate Dominion Day (Canada wasn't a country yet), but this year an opportunity came up that I couldn't pass up. I am going to be a caddie at the ATB Financial Classic presented by TELUS golf tournament. This is a Canadian Tour Event being held in Edmonton.
I have thought about volunteering for this for the past couple of years and this year it finally worked out. I am guaranteed to work for the first 2 days as I am on the bag for Jesse Gibson - an amateur out of Saskatchewan. If he makes the cut, then I will be on his bag for the entire weekend as well.
I know that I am going to learn a lot about the game while out there and I am going to have fun, but I am also glad that I have been in the gym lately as I am sure the bag is going to be heavy. The weather is supposed to be cooler and breezy so that won't be a problem but we go out in the last morning pairing tomorrow and the last afternoon pairing Friday. This means that we will be having 2 long rounds. Things get backed up as the day goes on so I am sure that we will be backed up a bit on Thursday and really delayed on Friday. Ah well, I get to hang with some serious golfers at one of the prestigious clubs in Edmonton - the Edmonton Country Club.
Anyway, I will post updates as to my experiences each evening if I have the energy. Stay tuned.
