What a way to spend a day. On Friday August 24, Four Metamenders, Three Enquisitives, a couple of amazing Metamend clients and I took part in the annual charity golf tournament held by the Vancouver Island Advanced Technology Centre.

The event, which was supported by Metamend as a hole-sponsor brought hundreds of representatives from dozens of Victoria’s most successful tech firms together, a rare and pleasant experience few of us get to experience often enough. It raised tens of thousands of dollars to go towards cancer research in our communities. Held at Bear Mountain, the premier golf resort on Vancouver Island, the event was an amazing success.

Metamend sponsored the straightest drive contest. A faint yellow chalk line stretched down the fifth fairway, starting about 100-yards in front of the tee-blocks. The golfer who put his or her ball closest to that line or, in case of tie, furthest won a $2500 website optimization and promotion appraisal. The golfer who struck furthest away from the line won a free sleeve of Metamend labeled balls. I promptly lost my sleeve on the following hole. To be blunt, nobody from either Team Metamend or Team Enquiste came close to winning that prize.
