So … not much golf to report on over the last year. In fact, I think the last time I went out was for the parish golf tournament last July\/August.<\/p>\n
Which brings me to this year’s parish golf tournament (see “not much golf to report on”). <\/p>\n
Actually, did pretty fun. Went around with some folks who I’ve golfed with before, playing a best ball game at the Links G.C. in Highlands Ranch (where we were last year), netting a par for the group, which was pretty good. Despite not having golfed for a year, I felt pretty good about what I did — not too many truly awful shots, and enough cases where mine was the best ball that I felt like I was pulling my weight.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that it was supposed to get to the high 90s or 100 today, a nice breeze, plus late afternoon light overcast, kept it from being too ghastly hot.<\/p>\n
Overall, a nice way to spend the afternoon. Many thanks to Margie for making it possible. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
