19th July

Yesterday was Hytek's golf day. We all finished work early, I was done on Thursday night again, and went to Quarry Oaks, http://www.quarryoaks.ca/ . This is quite an exclusive golf club east of Steinbach and I am sure Hytek pay a lot of money to book this for the day for its employees although I am not sure Quarry Oaks are very pleased when they see the state of the course.
The way it worked was we were put into groups of 4 and we all started at different holes on different courses and then played nine holes. There were over 200 employees there for the day and a great time was had by all.
Jason, Chris and I played 5 or 6 holes and then found racing the golf carts was much more fun. I have never laughed so much on a round of golf, we had the cars sliding round corners, throwing up sand from the wheels in the bunkers and jumping off teas. We came across another group who had decided it was so hot they stripped to their underwear and were swimming in one of the lakes. During one of our races we even bumped into one of our managers who was with a group of golfers taking it rather seriously, until we removed the key for their cart and hid it in the glove box. They even had drinks carts on the course for refreshments, and we needed them it was so hot. Hytek had provided everything needed for the day, even 2 drink vouchers and a gift for everyone taking part, I got a $25 gift card for walmart
In the evening a meal was provided for employees and spouses so we were much better behaved now our wives were there. There was door prizes in the evening and I won an ipod nano, nice prize.
We all went back to Chris and Sally's later and had a few games of pool, we didn't last long though. We were exhausted by the end of the day.
