Family golf tournaments are awesome.
I don't come from a golf family myself. Growing up, our club was a Yacht Club, not a country club, and we spent the sweet New England summers sailing on Long Island Sound. I raced sunfish and catamarans every day, but never hit a golf ball.
Fortunately however, The O'Shea family did grow up with golf, and they host an annual family tournament in Lynn. MA, just north of Boston. They're a family of lawyers, with distinctive Boston accents and a collective passion for golf, and they really made us feel welcome at this year's O'Shea Open.
The tournament is all about family, friends and fun. The course, Kelly Greens, is a casual, coastal 9 hole, and there were golfers of all ages and ability levels. It was a quintessential New England summer day and copious amounts of
Above, my team mate "June Bug" and I enjoy a drink after our round. We didn't come near to winning the trophy, but we did get the "best dressed" award for our Golf Girl caps and matching shirts. BTW, our colorful piqué polos can be had at Target right now for ...you're not going to believe this...$6.99!
Whew - I'm sure the golfers on the coastal courses were glad you were a trained sailor-ette and never hit a course. ;-) (bah-dum-bum)
ReplyDeleteThat tournament sounds like a blast ! Nice to have lots of family to do things like that with. (as long as they don't toss you the keys to pahk the cah) :-D
That's right Patricia - blame your mediocre golf game on the yacht club.

We had a family tournament last year. Everyone loved it and was supposed to become an annual event but it's just really hard to plan and get everyone together so it probably won't happen, The O'Shea's are to be commended for making their event work.
ReplyDelete$6.99!!! That's crazy, and the shirt is so cute! I am so going to Target...right now. Bye work. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think this was a highly competative game and that's probably way everyone had so much fun.
ReplyDeletePatricia, you always put together the cutest outfits! Are you constantly on the look out for golf clothes? Or getting them from all the companies?

Hey! I have that same shirt in my bag for golf after work today. Suddenly, I feel ten times more stylish!
