Driving the ball at Redcrest
The day didn't look promising. Are those rain clouds that we see? No, it will blow over Ralph said with confidence. I hope so.
It was a busy morning getting our food all together for the pot luck dinner. I had to step out for a bit to pick up some shoes for the girls. When I got home at 10:40 Ralph said that Teresa and Lawrence would be picking us up in 20 minutes. Yikes!! I hadn't showered, I needed to chop up cilantra, nuts, chives and get everything together. Will I be ready? It's amazing what you can do when you are in a rush!
We left early with plans to go to the driving range before golfing. We dropped off the food at Chuck and Claudia's and then hit a large bucket of balls. Hmmm, I was a bit worried as my balls were pretty errant. What was I doing wrong? Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out before my game starts.
As were were leaving Cardinal to head to Redcrest it started to rain. Oh know, please don't let this last. It had stopped by the time we got there. Grace and John, Dave and Wilma, Tony and Arja were already there. Everyone was pretty keen to get going. Chuck and Claudia arrived and we were all set and ready to go.
We broke out into 4somes. Ralph, Tony, Arja and I were one group, John, Lawrence, Dave and Chuck another and Teresa, Claudia, Grace and Wilma were the third group. It was hot and muggy. Thankfully they had a cooler full of bottled water which we could help ourselves to.
Off we went. As we played it got warmer and warmer. I couldn't believe it. You needed to keep yourself hydrated for sure.
We all played well and had lots of fun.
Since we were first to finish we got a table with a good view of the 18th hole and greeted everyone coming in. There was nice cold water with lemon waiting for everyone as well as some white wine and beer. We needed the refreshment!
Then we headed off to Chuck and Claudia's for a very enjoyable evening together. We all had lots of fun, amazing food (dinner was superb) and were surprised at how fast the evening went!
It was a great day!
