Dad, Jill, Chris and I (Bryce) ventured out for a fun day of golf at Grey Eagle on Sunday. Of course, I think Dad and Chris were tuckered out from having played on both Friday and Saturday...so I didn't have to worry about them beating me with tired legs.
So my only competition became Jill who has been taking lessons and showing great improvement. But as soon as she took 11 shots to get out of one bunker, I had her beat too. So while I was satisfied to get to play golf, my competitive instincts were not quelched by this round.
Although it was a lot of fun. Especially everytime Jill or I would bounce balls of trees on to the green, or skip shots across water and into the fairway...and Chris would complain that he doesn't have the "Luck of the Williams" on his side.
Luckily we finished by 1:52, just enough time for Jill to visit the restroom before she and Chris had to go to their 2:00 golf lesson. I wonder if they got their fill of golf for the day? She was going to try for 3:40 Jazzercise...I bet that didn't happen.
I was ready to go out and play 18 more...but then I remembered I have kids at home. But I had temporarily forgetten about my kids while on the golf course on a perfect day!
Not that any of the men mentioned it or would admit to it...but between us...Jill did outdrive all the men on the 7th hole. Then on the 8th hold I chunked my 9 iron on the par 3 to barely made it past the ladies tees. Jill chimed in..."At least we know he's human!" I didn't think it was very funny at the time.
Oh well, a great time was had by all. And while we played golf, Toni, Gigi, Abby and Luke played in a makeshift beach on our back deck at home!
