Today Jonathan and I went golfing with my friend Dawn, from work, I was impressed by how much I enjoyed the game. It was a satisfying combination of relaxation and challenge. The sport itself is rather diffucult there are a lot of rules to keep track of and it takes a lot of skill to get the ball to go where you want it to in a limited number of swings. On the other hand the course itself is beautiful and it is really enjoyable to take a walk through the manicured lawn and the beautiful trees. Dawn's husband is in the Air Force so we were able to play on the Mchord AFB golf course. It is just gorgeous. I am sorry to say that while I remebered to bring my camera I left it in the car while we were playing and therefore did not get any pictures, but since I have determined to try the game again I will endeavor to remember to bring the camera with me on the course. While we were playing we saw a really pretty deer, a young buck as well as squirrels and geese. I managed to hit my ball into a pond, but it landed on the edge and I was able to fish it out. Jonathan landed a couple into some sand traps, but did an impressive job getting them out. Near the end the wind got a bit chilly so once we finished we headed to Starbucks for hot cocoa and coffee, respectively. Then after a quick tour of the base we went to Olive Garden for dinner and had a great time.
So that was my golf adventure! (If you're curious, technically I won, based on the "you don't count anything over 9" rule)
I am now looking for a good garage sale deal on ladies golf clubs, so if you see any, let me know :)
By the way, I got to use pink golf balls, which is just cool, because I am a little bit of a pink fanatic ;)
God Bless!
The Up's and Down's, In's and Out's of daily life with a loving husband, a sweet boy, a fun-loving gal and a new life in the Philippines! God has indeed blessed us.
