Another highlight of my year is the Duckbutter Fantasy Football Draft. All too often, it is one of the few times during the year we get back together. This year we had three draft rooms, California, Michigan, and North Carolina. Almost two dozen people in total for the event. Web cams and online drafting helped communication efforts so much.
This year we introduced golf to the draft activities. After the draft we tee'd off at Oxford Hills to squeeze in a quick nine. Nothing about our group was quick. We had a group of 6, hit multiple balls, and spent more time drinking and talking than swinging. To increase competition we shaved a stroke for each beer finished. My team shot a 26. We didn't even get through 9 before we ran out of beer, light, and patience for the game.
While we were golfing Chase, Annie, Mary, and Kristen were cooking up a feast. Shortly after we arrived back from the course we were treated to Beer Can Chicken, Salmon on a Cedar Plank, and Farm Fresh Veggies.
Though we probably should have called it a night after dinner, we headed out. Red Ox started the night, Hoops ended it.
I couldn't script a better day if I tried. Your friends show up in the morning, you have a draft mid afternoon, twilight golf, a feast, then bars until close. Life doesn't get much better than that.
