The 5th Annual Biochemistry Golf Day - July 12, 2007

Faculty, post-docs and students came out for a great day of golf.

 

 

Sharpening up with a little putting practice before the tournament. Vicki looks a bit surprised that the ball actually went in!

 

   
Rob Flick shows great form on the
first hole.
 
Not to be outdone, Sian Patterson and Laura Rendl tee off with style.

 

 
Last year's winners eagerly wait their turn, vowing a repeat performance.
 
( l to r) Brad Poulsen, Nolan Beise and David Tulumello find the beer cart and relax between holes.

 

   
Grants Administrator, Mike Folinas, keeps his eye on the ball with the same intensity that he tracks our research dollars!

 

 
Chair and golf aficionado, Reinhart Reithmeier plants yet another one smack onto the green.
 
Here he makes another great pitch shot using his 80-year-old niblick, while teammate Guillaume Thibault looks on.

 

 
Well, not everything hits the green - no problem for Dave Tulumello who pitches in from the rough.
 
A tougher shot for Nolan Beise. Since we are playing best ball, that says something about the other 3 players' shots!!

 

Spot the Pro

 
A great part of Golf Day is that it pairs up seasoned veterans with novice Tiger Woods wannabes. Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out who's who in this pair of videos (Requires QuickTime).

 

 
Ok, I asked for some help with the line .... but this is way too much help!!
 
Sian Patterson, Chris Loewen and Lori Rutkevich show the relaxed form (with maybe a bit of skill) that made them the winning team this year along with teammate Angus McQuibban.

 

 
Allen Volchuk smacks one down the fairway - oops, maybe a ball would help!
 
Reinhart take advantage of a break to practice his membrane topology lectures on Allen Volchuk, Rowan Henry and Costin Antonescu.

 

Ahhhhh, that time-honoured tradition at the end of the day.

 

Since our usual dinner venue mysteriously closed down without informing us, a
quick reconnoiter found a delicious substitute at Len Duckworth's Fish and Chips.

Already looking forward to next year's event!!
