My first training session as assistant coach went well on Wednesday. Bob had been my guinea pig for the fitness test a few days before. He managed to run 6 minutes round the oval before coughing up goodness knows what for the next 10 minutes! Think that was the most air his lungs had breathed in in a looooong while, they got a bit of a shock! He did well though. He managed to complete the hop test (well done Knees) and he didn't do too badly at the core test either.
Our engagement party on Friday night was a rather random but fun affair! We had a table booked for 20 people at the local tapas restaurant, with an age range from 3 years old to mid 40's! A mixture of netballers, work colleagues and golfing friends along with Bec, our old housemate. The fizz was flowing and the food was good, Bob even decided to make a small speech which was very sweet. Our friends were very generous in giving us lovely gifts including vouchers for rally driving in Victoria! Sadly didn't take any photos at the party, wish I had now! Ah well, lovely memories. We now have a "Congratulations on your engagement" balloon tied to Bob's golf tankard on the telly. Classy.
Saturday was a big day for Bob, the Pro-Am at Warragul Country Club. He was teeing off at 12.30pm with a fellow Warragul golfer, an Australian pro and an English pro. He played amazingly well finishing 1 over par, beating the English pro, hurrah! He was quite chuffed. Sadly, although he was best amateur overall, he was beaten in the countback and missed out on winning a 50" plasma TV. Boo! I watched a few holes, he had a few fist pumps when the putts were going in!! He was most definitely "In the zone". He was asking the English pro lots of questions on how to turn professional, apparently you only need a handicap of 3......watch this space!
I tried a spot of golf myself today, I was hitting it not too badly in the practice ground, I even managed to hit the ball with a driver today, woo hoo that's progress. However, when we sneaked onto the 11th hole to try the golfing for real, I had to take 5 shots to get only 100 yards from the tee. Toys were most definitely out of the pram at that point! Game over. Hometime.
This week we have the usual golfing and netball goings on, with netball trials being held on Saturday with a BBQ to follow. Apart from that, nowt much other than preparing for the family to arrive! Don't worry, I checked the weather for the next 14 days, it's looking like 27C and sunshine for the most part! Hooray. xxx
