The old adage that "April showers bring May flowers" often doesn't apply to Minnesota weather. For example, this year in Minnesota it's, "April blizzards bring May and June showers." The result has been the most precipitation in the first half of the year since--at the recommendation of Noah--modern-day records were started in 1871. In other words, it's a record. It was with this as a backdrop that Polywater held its 26th Annual Golf Outing in late June. Despite heavy rainfall all morning--and for several days prior to the date--we were able to complete the outing with a dry sky all afternoon. The image at left is an actual shot of a bunker marked as "Ground Under Repair." For what? Installation of the swimming pool slide? Thirty-eight golfers on ten teams participated, with Team #6, consisting of Mike Fee, APC Operations Mgr., Peter Hokemeir-Seim, R&D summer intern, and vendor Lowell Godel of Packaging Concepts, in Minneapolis, taking first place honors with a score of three under par. Last place honors went to Team #5 with Mark Hull, R & D, Sandy Hindahl (husband of Polywater's ace Customer Service Rep, Sharon Hindahl), Dave Lawton (husband of Polywater retiree Marylou Lawton), and Terry McMahon, Brenntag, St. Paul. The ever-popular and challenging "Chip & Putt" contest, held on the practice green between the ninth and first holes, was won by Peter Seim, R & D summer intern, with the low score of 5! After the round of golf, everyone retired to the clubhouse for dinner, drinks, and prizes. With all the rain we'd had, everyone agreed it was a nice miracle that we were able to play at all. Everyone had a great time, and is looking forward to next year's event. Bring your waders and join in! |
