THE GOLF GODS

The Golf Gods must have been reading my blog. Now that I think of it, the Rain Gods must have been reading it also. It rained yesterday morning, lightening, the whole 9 yards. It cleared up, so Gary T came by to pick me up to go to the Telco golf league, and naturally, it got really, REALLY cloudy. Sheila was working on web site stuff, so she had to meet us later. We played 6 holes before the official league play, and I either tied Gary or beat him on the few holes we played. Sheila called to check the weather just before she came out, and it got terribly cloudy, but it still hadn't rained. She drove out and we managed to start, still rain free.

On the first official hole, a few of us decided to play a two man best ball, handicapped game for $2.50 a person, or $20 to the winning team. That sandbagger Sheila has a 7.5 handicap for 9 holes there. I have an 8. You round up, so Sheila and I had the exact same handicap. There were 4 teams. Sheila & Carlos, Gary & me, Sharon & Craig P., and Tracie and Eddie P.

GARY T AND I WON ! ! !

It never rained on us until just before we putted out on the last hole. I "carried" Gary T (smile) for the first few holes, but then he stepped up to the plate and won the rest of the holes for our team. Both of us shot really well, and you all know how I hate to brag, but

I BEAT SHEILA

That is the first time in a couple of years that I've come close. She is just too darned good! Anyway, I have to gloat in my small victory, cause it is so rare!

We're busy making plans for the next couple of weeks. Joyce will be coming in this weekend. She and Sheila are off for one of the Coles' many, many yearly vacations. They're going to New Mexico for some sight-seeing and relaxation. After that, we're going to have some wine tasting - Gibbons style...... no exotic food pairings... just wine, and some pool parties at Sheila's. I'm so looking forward to Joyce's visit. Dad is also looking forward to some Pass The Ace with the "group".

A birdie told me that Margie S played golf Monday. Evidently, her recent cancer surgery didn't hurt her golf game one bit. She played just like always..... killer golfer! We are all so proud of her! Keep her in your prayers, her chemo starts soon.

I've gotta get the PA schedule done (hence the early posting time) and be at the course to tee off at 7:30 with the FWGA. Gosh, I hope my outstanding golf game is there!
