The Thompson Cup

Dad and Dustin are in a golf tournament this weekend called the Thompson Cup. I will share what I heard from Dad and Dustin talking.

Two teams of 8 players each play 4 rounds of golf in 3 days.   Dustin is captain of Team USA and his friend Jason Chambers is captain of Team Europe.  They said they play it like the Ryder Cup, whatever that is.

Dustin Victory SpeechCaptain Geddis gave a victory speech.

Not sure where he got that shirt or why he is wearing it.  If I was Lola I would be embarrassed to be his dog if he dresses like this.

Victory DrinkEach member of the team took a sip of Jack Daniels (American Whiskey) from the Thompson Cup.

This is Rich Wold taking his sip.

Seth Sip

Here is Dustin’s friend Seth.

His wife Julie came to the house to see Jenni while Dad and Dustin were gone. She she brought her dog Cooper and they are  really nice.

The Sticks

Dad keeps saying his sticks did the talking, I don’t understand, a stick is a piece of wood that I like to run around with.
