Sunday we goofed off in the morning and then headed for the golf club for our 12:20 tee time.
Fred fixed the garbage disposal, for the second time; a trip to Home Depot was warranted.
Liz borrowed clubs for me (much nicer than my clubs) and June came along to be my caddie.
The Gateway course is beautiful, and the greens much faster than what I am used to at the Moriah Country Club. I three putted most of them.
"Par for the course....", pun intended.
We made a stop after the 6th hole where Liz's friend Pat had Bloody Marys waiting for us. My game got better after that!
The course has lots of wildlife, we saw turtles but no alligators this year. We did meet part of the grounds crew, these pair of sandhill cranes have decided this course is theirs. They create lots of work for the course workers, but they are considered part of the course.
Overall we had a great time, and my golf game was not as bad as I expected it to be (shot 98), anything below 100 on the first day out is tolerable.
We had planned to go out to dinner after golf, but with all the concerns over the Covid-19 virus, we decided to just eat at home and douse the virus with spirits.
It was a pleasant evening with Liz and John, they are great hosts.
Monday we plan to drive north to Tampa to visit June's sister, Jane, in Brookville, and then move on to Georgia to see my brother Randy and his wife Sue.
We are trying to not panic over the virus and do what the experts are recommending, but we are traveling, so who knows what will happen.
Another spectacular day and a beautiful golf course. We all had fun and the Bloody Marys were a bonus. Being a caddie is a piece of cake.
