A good walk spoiled?

Someone from our church gave our senior pastor a 4 person pass for 18 holes of golf at a nearby course and he invited me to play on Wednesday (the last warm weather day in the extended forecast). I only play golf a few times a season, and I really enjoy it every time I get out. This was only my second round in 2007 and the first time I'd played 18 holes in at least a year.

I played really well from the tee and pretty terrible on and around the greens. I would have broken 100 easily if I hadn't found the water on the 18th hole, but I finished right on 100 and had a great time.

The one crazy thing about playing in the middle of the fall, is the leaves on the course camouflage the balls so much that we lost a few right in the middle of the course. I'm sure I drove the cart or walked within 15 feet of a few of my shots and looked right by em. I lost one ball in the water, one ball in the woods, and four balls just sitting somewhere in the middle of the course!

All in all it made for a very enjoyable work day, and I'll have to make sure I break my clubs out a few more times next season.
