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