The headline should give you some idea of the quality of golf. Three members of the intrepid golf league team competed on Tuesday. Liz, Bonnie and Carol teed off on a muggy evening. Alison, perhaps the most intrepid member of the team, was motorcycling somewhere east of here. Way east of here. We wish her a happy and safe journey. We already know it’s a stylin’ trip with the new sweeeeet helmet.
Golf highlights: Carol hit the ball over the creek. We believe this is a first. Liz hit a miracle shot over the creek. The grounder hit the dirt on the tee side of the creek, bounced on the bridge and then, we thought, rolled into the creek. We trudged across the bridge where, to our delight, there was Liz’s ball, out of the creek and playable. Bonnie hit her ball over the creek too.
Par: The writer’s memory is a little shaky here. There was a par. I think it was Liz. But it might have been Bonnie. Carol pledged to hit one par during the season. We’ll see. Check back here to find out if she reaches that goal.Bonnie played almost every hole, demurring on the hilly, sunny, hot third hole.
Golf lessons: Liz decided she needed to keep her head down.
Bug report: Carol and Liz at the end were plagued by flies. Annoying. Whining ensued.
Not Bonnie, but kind of funny.
9th Hole: Discussion of where to go started at the seventh hole, though thoughts of where to go afterwards were brewing (or perhaps distilling) on the sixth hole. Old Chicago was the choice. Bonnie made the boldest move of the night by ordering the G & T. The others quickly followed, impressed by her decisive move. Hilarity ensued, particularly when Liz gave a play-by-play of a memorable dive executed by Bonnie.
Mannn, everyone imbibes when I’m gone? The diet coke crowd??
I do think G and Ts will be required for the last night.
