So we're all packed up in my cousin's Coke Van (He's some kind of manager for Coke so he gets the Coke Van
) and we're ready to head out!
The Passengers are:
1. My cousin Darryl
2. Me (Jessica)
3. Laura
4. Brian
5. Brittney
6. Austin
Our other friends are headed on a different trip (Victoria, Brandon, Daniel, etc. are all going to Quebec for the two weeks).
So now that we're all packed, my Dad asks Darryl to stop by our cottage in Peterbourogh and pick up a letter from the neighbours or something (I think the letter was about fixing the road or something. Theres always litte meetings and letters to be handed out; instead of them mailing it, my Dad though it would be a fun drive up there anyways
)
So after 2 hours of driving to Peterbouogh, I collect the letter (the neighbours know me better better than Darryl
) and then we head back... When Austin says: "Hey, don't they have the Deer Creek Pine Golf course up here?", and Darryl says: "Yeah! Say, don't you go up there with your brothers and Dad and Joe (my uncle)?"
So obviously I say yes, and then everybody suddenly turns into a golfer ![]()
Brian: Hey! Why don't we rent a bag for 8 holes and we play a short round!
Brittney: Alright. But only if they have a spa there...
Austin: Spa? Golf course? You're dreaming, right?
Me: Actually, there is a golf course that has a spa but-
Laura: Sweet! Lets go!
Me: BUT! That course is in the States ![]()
...
Regardless, we rent a bag for 8 holes and we all start golfing... And then of course, we get a golf cart ![]()
*NOTE* Some of the below may be rated PG-13 due to a little violence
![]()
So a golf cart holds two people, and two golf bags.... Well, we each took turns walking up the course with the bag, and then everybody else was in the cart. But of course the person with the Golf bag would be lonely, there would be two people walking ![]()
So far 2 golf balls have been lost and its only the 5th hole (which is very good if you saw what was happening though
)
So we're all driving to the 6th hole. I'm driving, Brian's next to me, Victoria and Austin in the back, Darryl with the Bag walking with Brittney. Then Austin shouts like a mad person screaming something like "BALL OUR WAY!"
WHOMP! A golf ball landed on the roof of the cart! I got so freaked I swirved the cart into a 270 Degrees turn and drove like a Simpson on Road Rage
I didn't realise where I was going until I stoped right behind Darryl. Practically an inch away.
So it looks like this:
0-- [="=]
0 is Darryl
-- is his Golf Club
[==] is the Golf Cart
="= are the people
" is Brians half body almost falling out of the car.
In a split second, Darryl brought down the club so hard that it cracked on the window of the golf cart!
If I hadn't been lying over Brian trying to keep him down (which was like a reflex
) the whole window could've smashed in our faces! Austin and Victoria were like frozen statues in the back, Brittney was keeping her distance well away from Darryl ![]()
Of course, the glass could've cut and killed us...
But in the golf carts its like this ultra-hard plastic like stuff!
So Darryl cracked the club, getting a vibration from it all the way from his head to toes.
Our "First-Day" wasn't exactly going well. We had no choice but to turn around and head back and pay for the club, when Victoria suggested we glue it back!
You might only see in cartoon situations where such things work... But it did work for us!
The club was wooden and it cracked right down the head, like this:
{ \ | / }
Crappy diagram, I know
But it was more... Worse looking ![]()
Anyways. We took the tiny bottle of Ultra-Sticky Glue (One drop and it stays permanent!
) and some pink bubblegum (the thick kind.
We stuck the gum pieces on either side of the club, waited for it to harden, then we put5 drops on either side and WHAM! Held it together for 30 seconds...
And it worked! Then we glued the head back on using two drops on the base, taped it together with that black rubber-like tape, stuck it in the bag and returned to the resort....
And left with no harm done! ![]()
In this case, though, the hardened gum would've proved completely unuseful, but Victoria needed to put her gum somewhere and we were doing this in the Van ![]()
