Well a few of the people who signed up for the golf tournament decided that the rain was a bit too much to bear, but for 
the rest of the hardy souls, a wonderful afternoon was had.
Some minor setbacks getting to the Walhalla golf course were experienced by the organizers. It seems that the border patrol had new rules regarding bringing the prizes back and forth and now require 4 months notice before approving the transfer of prizes across the border. This goes both ways so if you want to bring prizes into Canada from USA then you will have the same issue. This meant that after golfing and eating the group gathered back in Reinland at the community centre for the distribution of prizes.
The tournament was a best ball or Texas scramble style. The final scores ranged from 1 under to an amazing 6 over by the group I was in. We were concentrating on playing strictly by the rules and no cheating was tolerated unless absolutely neccesary. Considering this was my first outing since the last Reinland golf tournament I was impressed that it only took me three holes to connect with the ball.
The golf tournament did start a bit late while the early starters waited for the rain to let up. Once started our group only paused to put on and take off our rain gear. Some of the more hardy of us didn’t even bother with a jacket.
After distributing the prizes the gourp discussed the viability of the Reinland golf tournament. It was decided that we would plan for another tournament next year with the prize distribution following at the Community Centre at Reinland.
We will do our best at reinland.ca to get an online signup for golfers, and all the information about the tournament will be posted here as quickly as we know about it.
See you next year.
