Rain Date

Since I had to take a rain check on birthday golf and dinner last night, hubby and I had our rain date tonight.

Very pleasant evening at The Ridges, just a few miles from home. Not hot and not rainy and just enough breeze to keep the skeeters at bay.

We golfed the back 9. This is the hole that we have kayaked to from Nepco Lake. So naturally, my kayaking heart willed my drive to go into the water. Dang. Still looks like a long way to the green (see flag far right). But it is so pretty. How can one complain?

A friend was golfing alone and joined us on our 4th hole since he was cruising along. That was fine. I'll blame him that my game fell apart at that point. It should have gotten better, though, since he pointed out I was golfing from the "senior" tees. What?

I did shoot my age so that was cool. Well, plus another half-dozen strokes for good measure.

Afterward, we had some dinner and headed home at a decent time when we remembered that it's not Friday. Date night, yes, but still a "school night" as we used to call them when we have to work in the morning.

I'm just glad we got out. Might have to do it again Saturday for our anniversary and Monday again for Jim's birthday. And next time I'm not golfing from the "senior" tees. No, I don't qualify. And yes, I'm losing my sense of humor with age.

Fore!
