Running Through Sprinklers

We have failed to mention so far that another one of our favorite things about golf is running through the sprinklers.


As an adult, it’s hard to run through the watery spray with abandon in just about any other location.

On the golf course, we can grab our clubs and run under the water without anyone raising an eyebrow or calling the cops.

This is something that they usually forget to tell you in golf class.

Take our advice and head for your favorite golf course when the sprinklers are on. You won’t regret it.

WNMLF Golf Banquet

Earlier this month as we completed our latest round of Golf I (5th or 6th attempt, depending on how you count), we decided we should celebrate with a WNMLF Golf League Banquet.

So we did.

Cheers!   May your summer rounds be filled with blue skies, moderate temperatures, straight tee shots, and friendly greens.
 
 

Approximate Golf

So here are the options as we see them—you can go crazy trying to count strokes, keep track of rules, and write everything down correctly on the little card with the mysterious numbers on it. In our observation, this can lead to frustration, cursing, and giving up on the game altogether.


OR you can have fun, try to hit the ball toward the hole, and when you get there turn in the approximate number of strokes it took you to complete this task. With this method, no clubs, greens, or small animals get hurt. And—not an insignificant point—those of us who choose this second option are still playing.

We understand that we won’t make an LPGA handicap with the second method, but we do have a good time on the golf course.

Certainly that must count for something.

We Fall Behind on Reporting Important Developments

A Blessed Event at Civitan Lake a few weeks ago—baby geese arrived to our family of Golf Course Geese.


During this season, there are Goose Crossing Days on Hole # 5 next to the lake when Civitan Golfer Ethics dictate that we wait to tee off until the family has completed their waddle across the fairway.

We are so tardy in reporting this news, that already these babies have grown to look quite gawky and adolescent.


WNMLF Golfer Joan has some excellent footage of the bigger goose-lets (goslings? geese-itos?) crossing the abovementioned fairway during another delay-of-play round.

Film at eleven (or ask Joan if you can see it).
