AND THEN THERE WAS GOLF ...
Those of you who know Sam know he's not easily deterred when he decides he wants to play golf. Neither snow nor rain nor howl of wind ... He was determined to play golf in Kentucky on our way to Florida. Temps were in the 30s and the wind was fierce but behold the Sam -
There was no grass yet and there were pieces of Astroturf to tee off from. He did have the course pretty much to himself though.
What the well-dressed golfer wears while golfing in arctic weather. One day did prove too cold even for him and he bailed out before hitting a shot. I was getting comfortable in the clubhouse with a book when he appeared and said he gave up before even the first shot. That tells you how bad it was.
Conditions improved in Florida. Here Dee shows her ability to draw turtles by pretending she has food for them.
One member of our party almost got a birdie.
On the way home Sam was sure things had warmed up enough in Kentucky. Not so. The temp was barely 40 and the wind was about 30. The course gave us a cart with curtains all around AND a heater.
Lois being thrilled with the whole thing.
Ladies, tell your daughters not to marry golfers.

Wow...I'm surprised the course was even open! Husband and I golfed when we were dating but both of us gave it up when kids arrived so I am not a golf widow. My 18 yr old son plays a very good game though and he might have joined your Sam out there given the chance! Enjoy the rest of the week.
