Let the games begin


The alarm went off at 6:00 am.  There was a crew working on the beach all night and were rather noisy so we had a bit of a restless sleep.   I got up and looked out over the balcony to see lightning lighting up the sky.  Hmmm, wonder if we will golf today.  We went next door for breakfast and found out that George (who used to make our Omelettes) passed away.  Also Chicago (our other Omelette maker) retired.  We noticed a few changes but the Omelettes were still good.  While eating breakfast the storm passed by us so we headed off to Beachwood Golf course and played our first round.

Today we started our weekly challenge where each person needs to play a game ball for 1 par 3, 1 par 4 and 1 par 5 per 9.  One point is awarded for getting on in regulation for a par 5, 2 points for a par 4 and 3 points for a par 3.  The only one who scored any points today was Ralph with a total of 4.  Sure enough I got stuck in the woods with my game ball.  In one shot my club went completely out of my hands and went farther than my ball. Argh...maybe Monday will be better.  There was a very gentle mist of rain once in a while but nothing to pull you off the course.  Was very refreshing as it was quite humid out.  Managed to get all 18 holes done.

After golf we were sitting in the condo listening to a thunderstorm while we decided where to go for dinner.  It has gotten quite foggy.  We decided on an easy night and went to California Ultimate Pizza.   They even made pizza with a gluten free crust.  Tonight we relaxed and watched Ocean's Eight together.
