Sock Golf

So there had been talk of a "Sock Golf" tournament for a while, but nothing seemed to be a happening ... but a little word with the guy who organized it last time and it was set ... to be played on my birthday!

So we had a spot on 50 players for "Sock Golf 2009"

So for those of you wondering, you play sock golf by rolling up a pair of socks and then throwing them all over the ship over a 18 hole golf course ... So i really do mean all over the ship, the course took us on decks, 3,4,5,6 and 7! Now there were no actual holes as such, but bits of paper which you had to hit ... As wonderfully shown by my sister ...

So you had to play your shots from where ever your socks landed ... as you can see it made for some interesting shots ...

So as well as there being an overall individual tournament there was all a team competition for teams of 4 ... Here be my wonderful team (L to R, Back Me, Ryan, Front Lindy, Katie)

With some wonderful team work, and alot of fun we managed to come 3rd out of the 12 teams :)

So the individual competition was a close affair with a four way tie for 2nd place with a score of 70 (the par for the course was 70) but the Sock Golf Champion for 2009, with a 2 under par score of 68 ... was ... well ...

Ah yes ... it was me :D
