MY FIRST HORSE RACE!

They're all wearing tutus so they're making me wear a tutu for this shot. This is what four hours of sleep after a five-hour drive after a eight-hour day on the golf course looks like. Looks awful. When I'm back here at the airport I have about 45 minutes till my flight leaves for Calgary so I'm going to edit the footage I shot yesterday and then edit more on the flight and then land in Calgary and drive two and a half hours to Brooks, Alberta. It's gonna be another busy day. I was waiting at the wrong baggage claim. Who's ready for story time again? Back a few vlogs ago or back in April I talked about my drive across North America. Well this very drive from Calgary headed east I did in 2008 to Saskatoon and I'm reminded of it right away because it's just flat plains. It's gorgeous but it's very boring at the same time but my goodness look at this sunshine. It's a beautiful day. It's gonna be in the 90s today. I had leg room on that flight. I got to sleep. Everything's looking fantastic and I actually get to play golf today. I'm coming in. I get to do the charity thing tomorrow but I actually get to play a full round of golf today. That's such a good thing when I do these charity events that I actually get to have some fun, let my receding hair down and play a little golf. But that's what I'm talking about. Just flat plains as far as the eye can see. The minute you head east of Calgary the Rocky Mountains are behind you and all you get is this. Endless skies. Kind of reminds me of Texas. All right I'm at the golf course Brooks Golf Club. It's gonna be pretty fun. Had a nice little nap in my hotel and a little workout. Feeling productive but now I get to have some fun, play a little bit of golf. Day two in Brooks. It's an absolutely picture perfect morning. It's gonna get hot today. I was so much fun. The people out here are just a great time. Awesome people. Went out for dinner. Had some quality Alberta beef hamburger. So so good. A couple local craft brews. All in all just a perfect day and I think today's gonna be even better. This is my hole today. The par 4 6th here at Brooks Golf Club. It's 303 yards to the flag. Into the fan. A little bit of wind here. Four groups have gone through and we've had two eagles already. Found my rhythm. Found my flow. We're having a lot of fun so far. All right we got a group of ladies coming through and they're all wearing tutus. So they're making me wear a tutu for this shot. I might have a fit. Well that was an amazing day. We had so much fun. Every group that came through purchased my drive. So that was 30 groups. So much fun was had today. The people were just a blast. The weather was perfect. So I zipped back to the hotel real quick and I've changed into some some regular clothes now. I'm gonna get a coffee. Go back and then just hang out with everybody. Gonna enjoy some some good some good eats. Some good Alberta eats. And I'm very lucky that I get to talk with everyone tonight. Share my story and and tie it all together. Golf. Mental health. Everybody here seems a really close-knit group. Really cool community. So I'm very very fortunate and very lucky that they picked me to come on out here and hit some balls with them and share my story. So I'm really really excited for dinner tonight and getting to know everyone out here a little bit more. But first coffee. All done. Dinner talk went I think really really well. This group here really cares about this this issue this cause in a small community. It affects everyone when someone takes their life and they're doing incredible stuff here. So I feel so so honored to have been asked to come out here and meet these people and be welcomed by them. And now they're really welcoming me because we're going to have a horse race. I've never heard of it but we're going out in teams of two. There's like 12 teams and you just play alternate shot until someone's eliminated. I feel like it's going to be a mess but hopefully we win. So this is a horse race. Everyone out at the same time heckling. This is not going to be PG so this is about all I can show you. Wow what an amazing amazing day. Ended it with that horse race. We were out there for another couple hours. Unfortunately we finished third. We didn't win but the cool thing was all the money that was in the horse race the first second third we all got a percentage of it but everyone gave it back to the fundraiser. So that's awesome. We had fun. There was some uh maybe a bit of bad blood amongst a few teams but it was all all in good fun and all for a really good cause. It's Sunday morning my last day in Brooks. I'm going to go back to the golf course shortly. In the silent auction one of the prizes was a little bit of a lesson and hang out with me and then people paid for that. So again I'm pretty honored but I'm just editing everything up here. First time I've had a chance to sit down since getting here and editing because it's just been fun this whole time. Like I'm just part of this part of this gang. It's been really amazing and I'm pretty taken aback by just how special this weekend was. It's not often where I get to come in and speak or or hit golf balls and raise money but feel so welcome and feel like one of the boys, one of the gang, one of the group. It's going to be hard to leave. This is the first time in three years of speaking where I feel like I've connected with people more than just the cause. Like I feel like I've made instant friends here so it's going to be it's it sucks. It's going to be hard to leave but I really look forward to staying in touch with the people here and and seeing how things go in the future and maybe coming back in the future and and hitting some balls again in this tournament and helping to raise even more money because they care. They care an awful lot here and I didn't even know this town existed until January and I'm really really glad that I know now and I know these people. That's it. I hope you guys enjoy this episode of the vlog showcasing this amazing weekend in Brooks. It's the end to a pretty crazy week so I'm gonna hop on my flight this evening and just relax and then it's time to really start practicing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday because I have a tournament next week.
