And it couldn’t happen fast enough. It’s not that they affect me, but there’s just something about playing 3 weeks in a row that screws me up.
It was supposed to rain last night. The clouds started getting ugly early in the afternoon yesterday, but it came and went but no rain. This morning, the clouds were those dark, roiling, heavy clouds that you know are going to open up….but it never did…at least not here. Some places got rain, but not us. It turned out to be a gorgeous day as the rain was pushing past us by 7am.
When we got to the 8th hole, the front came through they promised would come and with it the 25-30mph winds they also promised. Then it got tough to play. Leaves were blowing all over the place and sometimes, the gusts were so strong, you felt like you were going to be blown over. Now, there’s a lot of me to blow over…so they were pretty intense.
The blue heron who lives on the course was wading on the pond on the 4th hole…Monday and today. I wished I had my camera. He was close enough to touch. What a magnificent bird he is…I’ll try to remember to bring it on Monday. Of course, if I do, he won’t be there 
I had my typical lousy day. After playing so well Monday, I was hoping for a repeat, or at least something close. 12 strokes higher wasn’t what I had in mind. Oh well…it was a lovely day on the course, good friends and it beat sitting behind this keyboard…so it’s not too bad.
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
