Calvin Crest Golf Tournament...

That's right, Saturday Calvin Crest had a golf tournament and I had a blast. There were about ninety people that participated and over $10,000.00 raised for the Sherwood Forest renovation fund. That's right Sherwood is getting renovated. We are starting with running some power down there to certain spots this summer and will then run it throughout the hamlets and huts. It will still feel like Sherwood except that there will be appropriate lighting in the huts and bathrooms as well as along the trails.

I know, some of you feel like it won't be Sherwood any more and it might even become Hume Lake. Why is it whenever we talk about improving Calvin Crest someone always says, "...we don't want to become another Hume Lake?" Poppycock! I know that is harsh language and some will quit reading this blog because I am getting vulgar but Hume has done a great job in doing quality camping and having good accommodations. They put through their program in one week what we do in one summer. No, we will never become that, but if we don't repair and maintain a decent facility that is up to date, we will be more like the forest of decomposition and not have anyone attending. A little electricity here and there will give this facility the look and safety we want and have needed for long time.

Back to the golf tournament, hats off to Colin, Heather and her crew of volunteers, and Sandy for their incredible work to make this one of the best things to happen with Calvin Crest in a long time. There was a great vibe out there at the Sherwood Forest Golf Course, in my old stomping grounds of Sanger, just down the street from where Nellie grew up. Cosby hit some incredible drives, not bad for his first time out in a long time. I teamed up with Scott Henderson and Ruben Quintana and we included Sandra Gunter from Sierra Vista. We came in 4 under par in the Best Ball. Not good enough or worse enough for any trophy but I had a great time. It is fun again...
