Sometimes you just gotta throw down the gauntlet...

Candlewood Valley Country Club New Milford CTMy office looks out over Candlewood Valley Country Club, it really is a beautiful view. I freely admit I am not a golfer, although I come from a family of avid golfers. I remember when I was young, my dad took me out on the golf course and brought me right back after one hole. This was not my game to say the least. He never tried again, I must have been a total disappointment to him.

This time of year we have a little contest running at the office. Watching the golfers in the spring and summer is nothing special, watching them as we head into winter is a totally different story. These people are dedicated, and we love to see just how dedicated they are.....

The date to beat is December 7th. Last year these devoted athletes have their last hoorah on December 7th. It was a good year last year for these golf nuts. This year? Who can tell. If the weather holds out they may be beating the record. It remains to be seen.

I have taken this one step further. I have thrown down the gauntlet to our very own golfing Realtor® Ed "play another hole" Silva. I have challenged him to beat the current record held at Candlewood Valley Country Club in New Milford, CT. I have promised Mr. Silva if he plays golf on December 8th I will not only take a picture of him on the golf course from the comfort of my office, I will even allow him to take me out to lunch!

We shall see what Ed is made of. The gauntlet is thrown, the challenge is there.....

Andrea,

I can't imagine he can turn down such a generous offer. Golfers are usually fine gentlemen. So he will play in the snow, and will take you to dinner win or lose.

Ouch, I forgot to ask Ed

Andrea, Andrea, Andrea,  you have to stop throwing around all these cries for attention. Just because you no longer have your viriginity doesn't mean you should start making yourself available to just anyone, even with the offer of golf and food. What you won't try just to get me over there!

I think a lot of your winter golfers come down and golf in my backyard, Andrea. We don't golf either but we love to watch the "duffers".  Hope Ed takes the challenge; keep us informed.

Is Ed even allowed to golf in your town Andrea? You know he's caused numerous traffic jams before he was finally banned here in the Raleigh area...

Craig, thanks for reminding me. I will call the mayors office to request special dispensation with the proviso that he not wear the pink plaid shorts and the orange golf hat with the pom poms on it!

Andrea - Your experiences with your dad and golf remind me of my racquet ball experiences with a close friend.  He was an expert player, and I was NOT!  He actually leaned against the wall waiting for me to hit the ball, while it was bouncing around.  I never did connect with that darned ball. . .LOL

Myrl, my poor dad was so disappointed. Not only was a really, really bad (I was young however), all I did was tell him how dumb the game was....

Jon, LOL, I will get it all on tape if he comes here... but I don't think he will.

The only golf I've ever played in mini golf with my kids. If anyone is crazy deidicated enough to play after Dec. 8, it's Ed.
