Slightly OT- Pacific Grove HS hosts Royal Aberdeen

[Stan Dodd]

I am pleased to say that PG high as been able to reciprocate to the Scots for hosting our trip of two years ago.  We just finsihed hosting a group of 8 Scottish juniors and their chaperones.  The group came mainly from Royal Aberdeen but had members from Panmure, Cruden Bay and Monifieth.  They were housed by local families. The group was here for 10 days and despite the airlines losing all their clubs and clothes the trip was a success.  The clubs came two rounds after they arrived ( The Pebble Beach Company provided loaners for everyone) and the last boy got his luggage the day they left.
Through the generosity of the members of local clubs they played some great courses. The itinerary included Rancho Canada West, Corral De Tierra, The Preserve, Quail Lodge, Pacific Grove, Poopy Hills, MPCC Shore and Pasadera, oh and Peter Hay.
It was great to see the kids get on together and hopefully create friendships that will last a lifetime.
Another wondeful thing about this great game, it can bring folks together from across oceans with a common bond.
Cheers
Stan

Stan:

Glad to see you posting. As one who works in the area of education, I continue to be impressed with your work on behalf of young students, and particularly in this regard to bridging countries and continents through the game.

Keep up the good work, and keep us posted on the fortunes of your squad.

That is VERY cool.

I just have to ask though... was "Poopy Hills" an honest mistake, or one of the all-time great tyops?

Tom,
That really was a tyop.
