Yesterday I did something I don’t do very often, I went golfing!  I took a golf class in highschool and we spent some time on the driving range and some time chipping and putting, but never actually played a round of golf.  It wasn’t until years later I got a chance to play on a course in Utah when we visited Cassie’s aunt and uncle.

Practicing in our backyard (with the chickens)

Well here was another opportunity.  I had to come up with a set of clubs though.  I knew one of my good friends had a set of clubs, so I asked if I could borrow them for the day.  He graciously agreed, and even dropped them off!  So I was all set to go.

Carts Lined Up

Whoever came up with the idea of golf carts was a genius.   They make the game so much fun (but less exercise).

Cart and View

The landscape of a golf course in Colorado is so vastly different than the natural landscape.  It must take quite a bit of time/energy to keep it looking so green.  There were course marshals driving around and making sure everything ran smoothly.  They suggest that the course should be played in about 4 1/2 hours for a full 18 holes.  We came pretty close to that (I think 5).

Golfing is a fairly expensive hobby and it’s for that reason that I don’t go very often. But it is fun every now and then and a good excuse to hang out outside with friends.
