Day Three Hundred and Twenty-Three - Mulligan

Today's thing is really like a milion things and is my main raison d'etre @ work...so - here we go. Today I attended a golf tournament. No, I don't golf and technically I didn't even step foot on the actual course...but I was there...all day [I was up @ 5am and returned home around 9:30pm, intent on celebrating my job well done with a drinky-poo, instead I passed out on the sofa immediately following the Blue Jays game, where I remained until almost 5am, when rudely awoken by Anderson Cooper]. Now, I don't know much about golf at all...I had to do a lot of research so that I could accurately describe some of our auction items semi-intelligently and so that I would understand the flow of the day. To be honest, I've never had any use for golf - it's boring to watch and takes up a lot of time on TV and it drove a wedge between me and my ex [though we did not have any shortage of wedges in our brief relationship] - he was very into this activity and I believe still works in golf. However, after today I can say that I do kinda get it ["it" being golf] - I still don't think golf is for me [though I love mini-golf obviously], I have a greater understanding of its appeal.

Anyway, today I spent pretty much the entire day in the main clubhouse of the golf course. It was spacious and luxuriously appointed with art and dark wood and big leather chairs in the bistro. The staff were all dressed in little tuxedo-y outfits and were ridiculously attentive. That always makes me nervous - to be treated like I'm someone...because I'm most definitely not [they most likely earn double what I do]. Also, it was a beautiful day today - lots of sunshine, but without the oppressive city heat...outdoorsy but not uncomfortably so...yes, I get why people golf [I still think it's elitist and a waste of the environment/farmland, but that's just me - also, I am too wussy to carry the golfing sticks around]. Other highlights of the day include: attending a live auction and a silent auction and meeting someone named Mitzy [seriously! so country club!]. Sadly, I did not get to ride/drive a Turf Buddy/golf cart...they zip along pretty quick, so there might have been an incident. No photos as I was way too busy...
