    My experience at Ben Avery this past weekend

    Last Wednesday I arrived at Ben Avery and checked in for the Fiocchi Cup event that was held from 11/21-11/24. I rented a golf cart for all four days. So they handed me a key telling me that there was no assigned numbered cart. I asked just to make sure if the key would fit any available cart and the lady said yes. She told me they were all parked by the RV park area.

    So I went out to the RV park area to pick one up. I saw several that had locks on them and then I saw one that wasn't locked. I inserted the key and drove off to my truck to load up my shotgun and get some ammo to practice. While driving this cart, I got quite a few people waving at me as I passed them by, but as I got close to them they looked confused.

    Thursday and Friday I was carting around to the events I entered and started to think that many people here were really friendly as they all would wave at me while I approached them, however they would also have this confused look on their face as I got close.

    Finally on Friday afternoon I was getting into the same cart I was using and this guy approached me and said 'hello' to me. He commented how my cart looked a lot like this friend of his and wished me luck on the event I was going to. After coming back from the event and parking the cart in the spot I originally picked it up at, another guy approached me and said he didn't know that 'Aaron' was renting out his cart...

    Then it hit me!

    I was driving someone's personal cart and the whole section that this cart was parked at was a reserved area for regulars. The carts for rental were parked in the back section of the RV park.

    To whomever owns the cart I drove, please charge Ben Avery for two days rental. That is all. LOL

    Oh and BTW, I had a great time at Ben Avery.

      Actually the rentals, or at least the one I got was in pretty good shape from Saturday and Sunday. And believe me, the only common thing between me and YSR is we both shoot sporting clays.

      In all seriousness, it's a true story.

                Okay. Wish I did better, but considering other factors, I'm okay with it.

                  Most people shot better the 2nd shoot, Why is that? And that's not a bad score.

                    The second column was a tougher course for me. I actually had a big fat 0 on one of the stations which was 4 pairs. Instead of a possible 153, I ended up with a 145. FYI the first column was called "rattlesnake" and the second column was called "roadrunner".

                      Key part of the story is you can rent golf carts there. And almost anyone can swipe it.

                        So how did you like our range?

                        We have a ranch about 30 minutes from there.
                        A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you may never need one again.

                          Outstanding. Targets were great. Rain made it even better on Thursday.
