Memorial Day Remberance Outing

We got out for our usual Wednesday outing and Riley chose not to accompany us tonight, the first time he ever missed, so it was not the same without his face with us.

Before I go into our Wednesday evening outing my mind is on the Memorial Weekend coming up, while we are here in this great country shooting at flags, we have young men and women being shot at defending our flag and us,
how I can justify this fun filled outing in my mind, while someone else is in harms way for me, is sometimes hard to do.

So on this weekend, and all weekends to follow actually, Please remember those who gave everything for us while we are here enjoying the benefits of their great sacrifices.

I have fought a good fight

I have finished my course

I have kept the faith.

2 Timothy 2:4

God bless them for their service.

We arrived at the course a little later than usual so we ran right into the Ladies Night group that was heading out so we had to start on the back 9 which was fine.

I had just reshafted Bryson's driver with a newer shaft that we hoped would gain him a little distance.

So he had not had the club in his hand until the 10th tee box, he set a ball on the tee and launched it to just right of the green chipped on and had a 2 inch putt for a Par, I got a bogey..:-)

He hit driver, 3 wd , 3wd on 11 and was on the left front about 3 ft off the green, popped up a fluffy hit and was short of the flag by quite a bit, lipped out the putt, and tapped in for a bogey. Not bad.

Remembering he is playing at 2800 yd's and his normal yardage for his junior tournaments is @1900 yd's.

So he is hitting long clubs for his approaches.

He went on to Bogey 12 , pared 13, pared 14 (par 5 for him), pared 15 hit driver, 8 iron to the front edge chipped on and tapped in for a par, I always like this hole it seems nice and peaceful down in there.

He smoked a drive on 16, even though he didn't finish his back swing

then hit 3wd, 3wd onto the green about 10 ft short, and drained that for a Tweeter, YEAH!

Went on to Bogey 17 and then missed a 4 footer on 18 for par but ended up with a 3 over 40, (Par 37 from his tee's), we won't go into my score.

We went on in to the club house and ate supper, He had his "Scoot Burger" Whole Wheat bread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, mayo with some chips on the side, and a big ole glass of Arnold Palmer, I had my usual Chicken Salad.

He took his cap off after a reminder..:-)

Horace Archer, the new Pro at Orleans CC, came in and joined us for supper, we had fun shooting the breeze with him

for a few minutes and Bryson had some fun talking to ladies who were in there eating as well.

Horace didn't have a very big smile I think he was worried Bryson was going to steal his wallet

Anywho we had a good night (oh yeah that was my record low for 9 holes at Orleans too).

We stopped for Creamee's but they were out, so we bought some Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia, Peanut Butter Cup, came home and had desert with Patsy and Riley.

We unwound a little and hit the sheets.

Fun Time all round.

Don't forget the Yard Sale at Pop Pops this weekend.
Later
