sunday

let me tell you about my sunday.  got up way too early and couldn't get back to sleep so got up and headed to the golf course.  warmed up with a few balls and played great, lots of super shots and a few great laughs.

had lunch on the deck, burger and salad and headed home, damn near fell asleep on the highway but made it safely changed and headed to our muddy course to make sure the help was on track.

made it home and helped the wife move two trees and set her up to work on the flower beds.

son in law and grandson showed up so we headed back to muddy course to change flat tire on the golf cart ( an old 3 wheel harley ) and of course it was the front tire.  son in law handled it great and grandson and i checked out the equipment.  there was a skidsteer in the parking lot so the grandson had to check it out, i managed to slip and bang myself up real good on the scraper blade, blood and bruises.  we hopped on the gaiter and ran through the mud.

made it home and helped the wife plant and clean up, ordered pizza and cleaned up my cuts and bruises.

need to get away and relax!

thursday

golf course finally emerged from the flood waters, now we wait for mother nature to dry it out.

golfed last night in winkler, men's night, first round and i was terrible, couldn't chip to save a par. what a disapointment, hit the ball well tee to around the green, but just couldn't get it close.  have to wait til saturday for redemption.

had a day off today, Ascension day, was nice to get a day off. worked at golf course waited for greenskeeper to show up, he finally arrived after nine am, banker's hourse.  took the wife to town and had a huge salad at perkins restaurant, i mean huge.  tough to diet when they give you that much food.

tuesday

meetings first thing this am,  what a poor decision, meetings were a tad bit boring, maybe it was me and i couldn't get into them, but should have stayed at home.

have to change things at work, too much a routine, need to break the pattern.

golf course is coming along, water is disappearing but land is still soft and wet.  hoping for warmer weather to dry things up.

found out i get a day off thursday, and unexpected day off. Ascension day and we get time off for it. joys.

sunday

golfed this am, started with a serious case of the hooks and played a terrible front nine, but recovered and played super the back nine. came home and went to our course and wielded a fire hose washing greens with poopy water to get the muck and sand off.

i wonder about people sometimes, yesterday a fella said he would help and show up but today there i was, all by myself, why says things when you know you can't deliver, just shup up and not make promises you can't keep. there goes rant for the day.

tomorrow doesn't look too good, windy cool, will golf in the am and work on the course in afternoon, will let you know how it works out.

saturday

wow, 6 days since my last post. how time flies.  played 18 holes of golf this am, some great shots, great putts, had fun.

our golf course is starting to emerge from the water, lower holes still need to be pumped out and that is not being done, hopefully soon.

took the wife shopping and played with the grandson in the evening, a long day.

will try to be more regular in the future.

sunday

wonderful day, golfed 33 holes today, first round was ok, but second 15 were great. warm day, lots of great shots, didn't make any putts though, the greens had been aerated and were a little bumpy!

weather was wonderful too, very little wind, not too much sun, got warm enough to take the jacket off a couple of times.

went home and went out to daughter's for hot dogs and burgers and play with the grandchildren. it was a great mother's day for a father.

saturday

nice day, started out with snow flurries and ended up with sun shine but not too warm, plus8. yoga in the morning then took the wife to town for shopping, what a treat.

water is going down slowly but we should be able to get on the golf course next week and begin the reclamation project.  lots of differing opinions on what we will find and how long it will take to get it back in shape, i think we will have some silt down low on holes 3 and 7 but the rest should be fine.  hope to hit a few balls in winkler tomorrow am, weather is supposed to be better, we will see.

sunday

first golf game of the year. great front nine, got a birdie, was 2 over, all over the back nine, some pars, some bogies. very satisfying. took a long time to get to winkler, round and about, the water is going down but slowly.

first sunny day of the year, was raking out in the front in shorts this pm.

signed up for men's night golf wednesday evening, not really my cup of tea. i don't enjoy 3 hours to play 9 holes of golf. we spent 3 hours this morning and played 18. we were the first group out and didn't rush but got done in good time.
