Catering on a sheet of ice

Last Friday I catered a lunch for an ice driving class on a frozen lake in the mountains. Simple food, lasagne and a salad, but an adventure none the less. As I was pulling into the parking lot, what looked to be hard pack snow was, in fact, very soft and it ate my car up pretty quickly. The host of the event walked over, introduced himself, and laughed at my predicament. His comment was that I shouldn’t feel bad because as the host and lead instructor, he had gotten the RV that he used for a mobile classroom stuck as well. Well we got the car free, and while I waited for the clients to come off the lake, I pulled out my 7 iron and 10 old balls and worked on my swing…on a frozen lake….I love my job
