Bill and I have been playing together in golf leagues for at least 5 years. We’ve had a lot of fun, but were never close to the top of the standings. We decided to switch to a new course and joined a league not knowing anyone. We moved from Twin Oaks, a wide open easy course with 27 holes, to Swan Valley, a more challenging course with a lot more trees and water.

The ages in the new league ranged from young to old. We actually had one guy turn 80! It has been a fun crowd. In the first half of the season we finished in 4th or 5th place. During the second half we were near the top every week. We played the first place team last week and came from behind to win second half. Tonight we played the first half winners and ended up a little short. Bill shot a lights out 42 and beat his guy pretty good. I had a rough start with a 9 on the 2nd hole, but clawed my way back for a 45. It was disappointing to come up short, but it’s the best we’ve ever finished in a golf league.

Thursday we’re having fun day. Each player is only allowed to carry two clubs which should be fun. I’ve always wanted to try limiting the sticks in the bag.
