Humping, or is that Harumping?
It's Hump Day here in the land of the falling frozen water, which I guess is falling ice, which is an apt name because falling on this kind of ice is pretty easy to do. I mean, it could happen to anyone right? I think I will stay indoors today or at least until Friday, Jan. 14th, 2005 at 6:00 PM cause that is when Team Middaugh begins their Challenge Round run for the roses against Jennifer Mooij of Leaside. Maybe the bruises will have healed by then.
It is Hump Time for our gals and all of the great competitors signed up. Lets hope there is no falling down on the ice at Bayview Country Club where all of this takes place. The Bayview Country Club is not really on Bayview. It is on it's own road running north from Steeles Ave. just west of Leslie St. and most of a Kountry Klik East of Bayview.
I was a local boy in my teens when they built this club on Steeles Ave.. Having an address on Bayview was considered pretty hoitsy toitsy (look it up) in those days so they didn't give much consideration to calling it the Steeles Country Club. But please, if you come, don't go nuts looking for a Bay, unless it is a window, cause there ain't one in sight.
Steeles Ave. was a two lane dirt track East from Bayview in those days, until they built this fancy club that is. Just in time for the Grand Opening with the Premier et al the road was miraculously paved all the way from Bayview to the Country Club lane and about another 200 yards over a hill where no one could see it turn to dirt again. We locals were very impressed with the new neigbours.
Today, Bayview is a great club, a true friend to curling and I understand it has a pretty good golf course to boot and an excellent tennis crowd. They certainly have a magnificent kitchen and friendly staff. We like the place a lot. If you feel moved to do so, tell the good folks there you like the brand new renovations.
Best way to get there from the North or South is Highway 404 to Steeles, turn West and look for the club road entrance after you crest the hill out of the Lesley St. Valley. Hey, they could have called it "Valleyview Country Club".
The whole way there is on paved roads now, or iced roads, depending on Mother Nature, who(m), as you can see by the frozen falling down water this morning and the promised 10 degrees C this afternoon, can be a fickle b#t*h when she wants to be. So be careful out there, and we really look forward to seeing you at BAYVIEW.
