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!!
