Back in the swing of things

When the Woman shattered her wrist in Palm Springs, it seemed like it would be a long time, if ever, that she would be back doing the things that she used to do. And it has been a long recovery. She shattered it in March, and by the end of June, all was still tentative.

But she impressed me today. I suggested since our RV Park had a 9 hole course on it that we just go out and give it a swing (no pun intended – well maybe!). She surprised me and said yes. So for the first time in about 4 months, we took a shot at doing 9 holes of golf. While the course was short, it was not an executive course. There were 4 par 3 holes, and 5 par 4 holes. And since we were on the banks of the Mississippi, there was plenty of water to boot.

The Woman managed 8 of the 9 before the pain put an end to the day. You can see the sincere look of concern for her wrist on my face. But 8 holes aint bad, and she hit the ball really well. She had to clear water in front of the tee box on 3 holes, and each time she managed to reach dry fairway with her drive. I didn’t do too badly either, paring 5 of the 9, and having had 3 legitimate birdie attempts – not bad with all the down time.

Now here is something you don’t see that often. A massive diesel tow boat sitting on the grass next to the green on a golf course. I don’t have any idea what the story is on this tow boat, but I can tell you she was at least 4 stories tall. I am sure the story would be great! (I need to get better at these selfies!)

Talk to you soon!
