On 12 September, I tried to outlast eight other people in a game of Survivor. Instead of a remote island, we played the game at South Muskoka Curling and Golf Club. Golf survivor, if you will.
During the season, members of the club attempted to qualify for Survivor by paying two dollars, and the ten men with the lowest net scores played off in a nine hole challenge (one player didn't show up). The prize? $200, or half of the entry fees over the season.
So, nine players tee off on the first hole and the highest net score is eliminated. Then, eight players play the second hole and, again, the highest net score is eliminated. Ties chip off from the edge of the green, and the furthest from the hole loses.
I made it till the third last hole, but did I ever explode! I took an 11 on a par four, which included three tee shots (I found only the second one), a bunch of shots in the bushes, a double-hit chip and a two-putt. Grr.
The experience was good. Even though I exploded, I played well. And it was the most pressure I've ever played under.
