Bing and I were going to try the carts out but it was so damn hot … especially after being in the sun all morning shooting a round. Next year we need to add carting to the list along with a boat cruise or renting jet ski’s or getting drunk and beating up midgets - something along those lines ---

Seriously I was surprised at how inexpensive the whole weekend was. $100 for weekend tickets, a great spot to chill during races, $50 for the hotel all weekend, and then beer/food. Not nearly as expensive as Toronto. ---

Did you guys go to the Tiki Bar? It is kind of a hidden little gem on the lake. You have to go down this"industrial" type road and park on the side, then walk down a set of stairs to the lake and give the secret handshake. It is AWESOME after a hot day of driving to sit by the lake and sip a cocktail. ---
