Well, after almost an entire season “off” (i.e. – no blog entries), I'm back. And, surprisingly, in February!!
In NY, its a rarity to play golf in the winter months. Sometimes a day in December pops up, but January and February are like finding a needle in a haystack (or, a good lie in the rough).
Today was that day. Lloyd called me and said we should head out to Merrick Road Park to play 9. So, we agreed to meet at 1pm.
As I walked up to the cashier, I see this sign:
Yikes – it seemed that everyone in the county came out.
So, we checked in and sat for the hour and a half. We couldn't even putt, as the putting green was closed for the winter.
But, we teed off at 2:30pm – on the button.
We were playing with two nice guys – Wayne, and Warren.
Warren was 87 years old, and carrying his clubs! Well, he only had 6 clubs in his “weekend” bag, but still! Impressive.
Much more impressive than the golf. It took 3 holes to shake off the cobwebs that build up after 3 months of not swing..
