The Great Eskimo Shoot Out
Well, from a golf standpoint, being back in Chicago after 2 weeks in California doesn’t have too many advantages, but today I did get to participate in the “Great Eskimo Shoot Out” at the Fresh Meadows Practice Center. The deal was, if you bought one small bucket of balls (50 balls) you got another one free. There was a large plastic tub out on the range at about 75 yards. At the end of your practice, you got five extra balls. The golf pro watched, and if you got any in the bucket you got a prize – there were prizes for 1, 2, 3, 4 and all 5 balls getting in. I didn’t get any in, either during my practice or with my last five balls, but I did manage to hit the bucket 4 times from rolling balls. Overall, I was very pleased with how generally straight my shots were, and the pro even commented on that. And, it was great fun playing in the winter. Snow on the ground, light flurries coming down, lots of people having fun trying to hit the bucket. If you live in a cold climate, you might see if your driving range has something like this you can participate in.
