Do Swimmers Go Golfing?

Hard to believe... but true. Swimmers do go golfing (but not all golfers swim!). In any event, it was a beautiful April morning and the greens were fast. (I sound like a golfer already -- not that you'd know it to look at my score!). My thanks to Tom, Bob and Chris for encouraging me to hop out of the pool for a day and try a little golf. Great weather, good friends and fast greens -- could a man ask for anything more. Well, maybe a little chlorine!

Such concentration. Tom has got a lock on sinking this putt. Or does he?

Hello ball. Get ready for the ride of your life. Or was this the shot that went in the drink? I'm not sure but Chris will no doubt remember!

And the winner is... well, today's winner was Tom with Bob a close second. Mike was fourth and Chris came in third thanks to a 9th hole meltdown of epic scale that included one ball in the lake and another behind a tree on a normally placid 9th hole. BTW, be sure to ask Chris what everybody else shot on the 9th hole. Did I hear three Par 3's and one EPIC Meltdown! Golf is a game of inches that will break your heart -- but there's always next week.

Thanks again guys, Mike
