You Can't Beat Fun -- You Can't Even Tie It

This is such a perfect quote to have on a bench at a golf course. Because you really can't beat fun, can you? And golfing with friends sure is a good way to have it!

Today was the annual golf scramble to benefit our Royals Football Program. Does this mean I was golfing for the 5th time in just 6 days? Darn right!

This year our new friends Mark and Trisha from couples league rounded out our foursome. What a fun day!

Yes, it was hot and we were melting by the end, but scrambles are just so fun. No pressure when you know the excellent golfers will be finishing at least 10 under par. We weren't, so we just made it a good time on the course. The guys did have the distance in shots, but we girls each had a birdie putt in the final holes. So that was worth dancing over! 😎

This scramble is usually the only time I play this formerly private course. So it's always a treat.

It's right along the Wisconsin River so there's some pretty views, too. Makes for a great day!

Of course, since this event is a fundraiser, there's all sorts of opportunities to buy raffle tickets. My luck this year continues. Good thing Jim brought the truck! We hauled home two big raffle baskets! We'll just keep those sealed up and take them Up North for my sister's benefit at the end of October. Winning them is so much easier than putting them all together, ha. But I'm having fun with that, too! 

We also won one skin on a hole we birdied. Don't ask me to explain skins, just know that my birdie putt got us those winnings. Yup, I'm never humble when it comes to golf. I have too many bad shots and rounds that are NOT brag-worthy. 

Yet, we all keep coming back. It's still fun no matter what. And you can't beat fun. You can't even tie it!
