Bragging Rights #2

Yea, I did it again - A Hole In One, this time on hole #9. But I didn't get to see it pop into the hole. I lost the ball in flight after I hit it, but I heard it hit something and thought it must have been the tree behind the hole (even though I thought - wow did I hit it that far?). So when I got up to the green and looked around for my ball, it was no where to be seen, so I thought it went into the water after hitting the tree. Then Jim went to pick up his ball that he just put into the cup, and said, "there's a ball in this cup", and lo and behold - there was my dirty Titleist 1 ball. What a shock, I would not have thought that was what happened to my shot.

 As you can see by the following picture of Jim in jeans and bundled in a coat, that the weather has cooled down from its 70+ degrees to the low 60s, but the problem is the cold wind, it cuts right through a person. The wind has been over 20mph and the overnight lows are getting into the low 40s. I know for family and friends back in WI, that is probably warm to you, but to us, this is "cold".

Our Christmas was quiet but pleasant except for the cooler weather that turned cold on Christmas day. We pretty much stayed close to the warm motorhome watching basketball and only ventured out when needed. Yesterday, the wind subsided a bit, so did make it out for a round of golf. Hopefully today will be just the same. Right now (at 7:30am) it is 44 degrees and no wind and bright sunshine with a promise of 64 degrees by this afternoon.

 Monday the wind finally died down, so it was an absolutely beautiful day. We headed out to the golf course about 1pm to take in all this sunshine. It started out to be a normal day playing golf, but on the 4th hole - I shot a hole-in-one! Of course it is a short hole at about 60 yards, but for me a hole-in-one is a huge feat.

I completed the round 3 over par. So all-in-all, a good day. Of course we celebrated at the restaurant by ordering a very nice bottle of wine.

Tues. was another day in paradise with temps in the high 70s, light wind and plenty of sunshine. Enjoyed our morning walk/bike ride (Jim walks almost 5 miles and I ride my bike for about 11 miles), a round of golf in the afternoon, a cruise on the water for cocktail (wine) hour then dinner. The restaurant is closed on Tues, so grilled a couple of chicken breasts and enjoyed the evening on our patio watching basketball. Of course, Wed. we will perform all these tasks all over again.
